We know that for smaller creative groups, the thought of accessibility can be overwhelming, but it doesn't need to be! That's why we've co-produced this Toolkit with DPOs, d/Deaf and Disabled people to give you tips on making your space inclusive for all! www.disabilityrightsuk.org/resources/en...

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

As a Disabled-led business, we know the barriers to Disabled people working aren't going to be solved by this. Reducing the 1yr+ waiting list for Access to Work could. Reducing NHS waiting times for treatment could. Making sure employers provide necessary accommodations could.

We have reached a point where the dehumanisation of marginalised people is normalised. This is terrifying.

At Lex Scotland we know wealth inequality is a serious issue, and leads to marginalisation. It also means marginalised people don't have the services and supports they need.

#LexLeaders aren't just CEOs and bosses. They are also leaders in our communities. Peaceful protest is a vital part of being able to influence change on the things that impact us and matter to us.

Holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos on protest ⬇️ The crackdown on our right to protest started with rhetoric- ministers saying peaceful protests are “hate marches”. Now it’s in policy, expanding police powers to crackdown on our right to speak truth to power.

This day/week aims to raise awareness and understanding of non-binary people. Here in the UK non-binary people lack legal recognition, face barriers to accessing healthcare and other spaces which are divided in binary categories, increasing hate crime and discrimination in employment and services.

The word 'gaslighting' gets thrown about a lot these days, but it is genuinely the correct word to describe what the EHRC is doing. A form of abuse characterised by systematic attempts to make someone doubt their sanity, by insisting reality is different from what they know to be true.
