Access & Inclusion

Making actions accessible is the simple act of asking, "what do you need?"

Quote from a disabled rebel

Before You Start Planning

• Is there a wide array of disabled voices in the discussion space, reflecting the diversity of the movement?

• Is there sufficient time in the planning agenda for specifically hearing those voices?

• Have you remembered that some disabilities are hidden and should still be heard?

• If you're planning a 'spicy' action, you need to be aware that disabled and neurodiverse people face larger barriers to taking part. Can an inaccessible action be adapted?

• If not, are there other options available that are similar and as non-exclusive as possible? Do the other options still value a rebel's comittment to civil disobedience?
