A COALITION of activists will stage an event in Parliament Square in London on Thursday to demand that the new government take the concerns and struggles of disabled people seriously.
Groups attending include Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC), Recovery In The Bin, and the Bromley & Croydon Unite Community. It will begin at midday, and include a programme of speeches, music and theatre.
A DPAC spokesperson said the new government seems to already be “picking up where the last one left,” pointing out that the minister for disabled people has been shelved and lumped in with the minister for social security, reinforcing harmful stereotypes.
