Dear
Members,
This
month is Disability Pride Month! This is the second year of the pride
parade. The theme for this year’s parade is “Power in Unity”.
The
disability rights’ movement in Ireland has a lot to celebrate this
year following the success of the Scrap the Green Paper Coalition
Campaign and the Care Referendum, which showed the power of
collective grassroots action and what we can do when we work
together, in movements that are led by and centred on the
marginalised group themselves, with the support of allies.
The
parade this year will highlight this strength in numbers and the
importance of allies both disabled and non-disabled from within our
movement and from other social movements.
Because
achieving disability rights is a necessary step for the liberation of
us all.
Details
will be updated to their website (disabilitypride.ie)
and on Eventbrite here.
You
are welcome to attend their Costume and Banner Making Session in Mud
Island Community Gardens on Wednesday 17th July in Mud Island
Community Gardens from 4 - 7pm to prepare posters for the march with
the aid of Baubo Theatre.
Hope
to have you join us!
