Wednesday 13th May, 7pm in the Backroom of The Bell

Our world is organized to enable some people to meet their needs and to disable other people.

Disabled people are often assumed to be a burden on the wider population. This is used to justify cuts to services and support.

This is not new, but the hostility directed at Disabled people is increasing. Disabled people are among the first targets of fascism. This was the case in Nazi Germany as it is in modern day Britain.

This session will look at some of the struggles, achievements and principles of the Disabled people’s movement which are often disappeared from history lessons as well as from wider activism.

Disabled people are not an optional extra.

Anti-fascist resistance must learn from, and build solidarity with, the insights and experiences of the Disabled people’s movement. We will discuss what needs to change and how it might be done.

Please let us know any access needs asap and we will do our best to address them.
