It seems that every day there’s a new call to action, another petition to sign, a blog to RT, and so on; & I’m sure I’m not alone in having to make conscious decisions, often at an hourly rate about which new campaign to endorse.
Well for this one I’m making NO excuses, on Wednesday 10 July Labour is using Opposition Day to “debate the changes they have made that affect disabled people, and at about 16:00 we will force a vote to demand a Cumulative Impact Assessment by October 2013 at the latest”
YES, at last the tireless work of Pat’s Petition, WOW, Spartacus and many many others has finally been recognised, but…this alone is not enough!
Between now & then we can all help make sure this debate is not lost; so please everyone
- Write to your MP and ask them to back the motion
- Write to your local paper and explain why we urgently need a cumulative impact assessment
- Tweet your support using #MakeRightsReality
& do everything we can to make sure this vital motion is carried -“That this House believes that the Government should publish a cumulative impact assessment of the changes made by this Government that affect disabled people (to be published by October 2013).”
This is very good news, to start with. Thanks for sharing Jayne, i’ll write to my MP no problem, and will Twitter now. Best wishes
