Disabled people have been discriminated against their entire life which means they can’t build enough wealth to participate meaningfully in politics, says a wheelchair-user. dlvr.it/SV8nBx

BREAKING: KiwiRail has announced it will bring back the Northern Explorer and Coastal Pacific in time for summer - great news! Now let's keep working towards more frequent, faster, electric passenger rail services to connect people across the motu.
Here's a blog I wrote during lockdown for @equity_ed_nz
about ways that the government responded to COVID to be flexible and to reduce inequalities within education, and how those responses were necessary even without a pandemic, and so should be continued.
A new blog post by Tim Young about some of the government responses to COVID-19 that are also tackling inequality in education!

We went to today! The Ruakuri tour is fully wheelchair accessible (but pretty tight in places!). I highly recommend it!

Donate $1 to plant 1 tree if you want to offset some of the carbon you burnt today. share.teamtrees.org/53718130… #TeamTrees
Thanks @TronFringe! Huge help 😊 Nivara Lounge sounds nice.
Earlier in the year @Heyitsmacaila saw a tweet encouraging events to include the disability accessibility of venues - we have included that into our programme.
Any questions about our events please contact us. We would like our festival to be an inclusive and supportive space.
This whole thread about solar electricity is incredible. Very informative. Thanks @future_crunch for the recommendation.
1. Time to make minor updates to my #solar unpopular opinions thread, since this seems to be a good way to organize thoughts.

Only 21% of Hamiltonians have voted... but, our voter returns are 4.28% higher than 2016 and Hamilton is bucking the nationwide trend, by being the only city that looks to have improved voter turnout this year! #winning #votethetron

Woo hoo! Awesome work Tim Young and Gerri Pommeroy on The Project tonight talking if the disadvantages faced by those with disabilities to get onto Council. I hope Hamilton is the first place to show this can be done. @YoungForHCC – at Hamilton City, New Zealand
Be informed before voting for regional and district/city candidates. A great infographic by @jennifernickel explaining the role of both local governments, and highlighting their importance.

It was great to be on @TheProject_NZ last night with Gerri Pomeroy talking about the challenges disabled people face getting into politics, and explaining that accessibility affects us all at some point. Watch segment here: bit.ly/2kGYJCs

Yesterday @TheProject_NZ followed me around, asking questions and watching me speak at events. The segment should air on Monday, which is perfect timing for some more exposure considering voting papers are sent out tomorrow! Vote for me if you like the words I say, please.
This is great! Now for the rest of Council employees and contractors!
