I wanted to reshare this article because there will be so many who feel free to intrude even more now because of this campaign - fuck them and this. glamourmagazine.co.uk/articl…

Please stop touching my wheelchair without my consent - it makes me feel violated and dehumanised

Using the Elizabeth Line on the tube @WheelieGoodLife & @gem_turner found: ♿️ You have to really study the maps of the many lifts ♿️ You have to make sure you’re sat in the right accessible carriage ♿️ The gap between the platform & carriage is doable for Gem & Jennie! 👩🏻‍🦽👩🏼‍🦼

Rest in power Judy Heumann So sad to hear we've lost the mother of disability rights Her legacy is immense - every ramp installed, every kid educated, every campaigner inspired, every community forged The fight goes on. Poorer for her loss but stronger because we had her

Today, I had the privilege of meeting the inspiration that is Jennie Berry of @WheelieGoodLife. Her campaign to improve the lives and experiences of people with disabilities, particularly in relation to the aviation industry, is incredible. She’s got my total support.
