Let’s take action this Disability Pride Month! We’ve put together some ideas to get us started.

1. Advocate for a better Canada Disability Benefit

2. Reflect on how to be an effective ally

3. Learn from people with disabilities

  • Follow artists and influencers with disabilities on social media. Visit the This is Ableism page of our website to find content creators
  • Read a book written by an author with a disability
  • Listen to a podcast created by people with disabilities. The Invisible Institutions Podcast is a great one to start with.

4. Ask political candidates about disability rights

  • Some communities are getting ready for provincial elections.
  • Ask political candidates about their commitment to disability rights:
    • What are their plans for inclusive education?
    • What about inclusive, accessible housing?
    • And employment and fair wages for people with disabilities?
