Councils are important because they're responsible for things like providing social care and collecting your bins.

Join us for a week celebrating Learning Disability Week. This year's theme is "Do you see me?" which is all about being seen, heard and valued.
Led by @mencap_charity, it is an opportunity to shine a light on and celebrate the achievements of people with a learning disability!
Mae hi’n Wythnos Anableddau Dysgu a’r thema eleni yw ‘Wyt ti’n fy ngweld i?’
Nod y thema yw sicrhau bod pobl ag anabledd dysgu’n cael eu gweld, eu clywed, eu gwerthfawrogi, a’u deall mewn cymdeithas.

Er mwyn nodi’r wythnos, gofynnom i’n Cydlynydd Prosiect Barod i Bleidleisio, Geraint, pam ei bod hi’n bwysig i bobl gydag anabledd dysgu ddefnyddio eu lleisiau a chymryd rhan mewn gwleidyddiaeth a phleidleisio. Dyma beth ddywedodd.
