As a disabed person it's ok to feel angry right now. It's ok to feel left behind, unheard or expendable, like an afterthought or let down by allies. People's ableism is showing. It's ok to be angry with ableism. These feeling are OK, Because ablesim is never ok. #COVID19

Our hearts go out to the Mitchell family and all those impacted by the devastating wildfires. This tragedy reveals the systemic gaps that leave Disabled people disproportionately at risk in disasters. We are committed to driving change so that no one is left behind!

Systemic solutions like those proposed by #Earth4All are nothing new to Indigenous communities, says @hindououmar @AFPAT_. She calls for an economy that supports both people and nature, and greater investment in indigenous people as active stewards of our planet. Watch now ⬇️

Indigenous Peoples and local communities are the guardians of nature. Their knowledge and voices are vital for guiding decisions made at #COP16. @hindououmar

Today is nature and culture summit @UNBiodiversity @COP16Oficial and I was honoured to do the closing panel on accessing finance for #IndigenousPeoples as the chair of the @UN4Indigenous. Finance should be directed to the communities on the ground that are acting.

Campaigns are not representative organisations. There seems to be some confusion about this lately, especially in regard to disability rights. #DisabilityRights #UNCRPD

2 years ago on this day I had a series of medical crises that changed my life forever. It costs $840/day for additional care I need. It is unsustainable. This is structural ableism. I am crowdfunding again so I can live in the community disabilityvisibilityproject.… 🎨 @jtknoxroxs

Transportation to shelters must be accessible for all! Disabled people are often left stranded during evacuations, we face dangerous & life-threatening situations. We demand inclusive, accessible transportation options in all emergency plans! #AccessibleTransportation #EndAbleism

Through our conversations, he show me that there was a way to navigate that space confidently, and yet reserved. He had a wonderful, compelling and sensitive way of making his voice heard for his community. And an inviting approach to collaboration. A true diplomat for us.
