Blogging Against Disablism Day will be on 1st May, 2010 via Diary of a Goldfish
This is the day where all around the world, disabled and non-disabled people will blog about their experiences, observations and thoughts about disability discrimination. In this way, we hope to raise awareness of inequality, promote equality and celebrate the progress we've made.
How to take part.
1. Post a comment on Diary of a Goldfish to say you intend to join in. You will then be added to the list of participants on the sidebar of Diary of a Goldfish. Everyone is welcome.
2. Spread the word by linking to the site, displaying the banner and/ or telling everyone about it. The entire success of Blogging Against Disablism Day depends entirely on bloggers telling other bloggers and readers in advance.
3. Write a post on the subject of disability discrimination, disablism or ableism and publish it on May 1st - or as close as you are able. Podcasts, videocasts and on-line art are also welcome. You can cover any subject, specific or general, personal, social or political. In the previous three BADD, folks have written about all manner of subjects, from discrimination in education and employment, through health care, parenting, family life and relationships, as well as the interaction of disablism with racism and sexism. The discrimination experienced by people with mental ill health is disablism, so naturally such posts are welcome too.
