BC Libraries Co-op has committed to the Pledge to Measure since 2021. We caught up with Micaela Evans from Open Door Group to talk about the Pledge to Measure, and why 2025 is the year to join! bc.libraries.coop/blog/pledge-... #PledgeToMeasure @micievans.bsky.social #inclusive #workculture

I live in a housing cooperative and know just how vital values-driven spaces and organizations are for our communities, especially for people with disabilities or other barriers to employment and community involvement.

Accessibility is likely already on your minds or a key priority for your organizational goals this year.

The Pledge to Measure can provide you with a snapshot of where you are today, and insight into how you progress towards your goals in future years.

We can also provide the tools needed to foster more inclusive practices year-round through our additional free services.

Many of my US friends say that they are coping by not turning on the news. I understand it and don't blame them but I guess this is also how descent into authoritarianism works - most people, understandably, just concentrating on getting by in their lives and in their local community.

Trump has stopped the CDC, NIH & FDA from communicating any info to the public Cancer research and other grants and programs are on pause Not to worry! Soon AI can dispense your prescriptions for you! I think of all the times I’ve had serious medication interactions & errors. This is terrifying

Do one thing every day to help someone currently in harms way. Learn how to identify and protect neighbours from ICE agents. Stand up for the LGBTQ+ community. Wear a mask in solidarity with the disabled community. Learn about anti-Blackness and commit to doing better. Don’t let hate win.

I've seen a lot of people in the US talk about community today. But very few know what that means. Community isn't just you and your friends. It includes disabled people and other marginalized groups. It's masking and taking precautions to protect others. It's caring for others!

Why are disabled people so good at coming together and building community? Because we’re the most familiar with the fact that the government isn’t going to save you. It won’t be there for you in traumatic times. We’ve been saying this for decades. When a disaster happens, all we have is each other.

Unfortunately “just leave meta services” isn’t straightforward for disabled people. Long-existing digital spaces are lifelines. FB has 20k of us with SMA in one space despite geographical, political, and medical barriers. Crowdsourcing medical experiences saves lives for people with rare diseases. 1

If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.
