On Monday evening, on the #InternationalDayofDemocracy, we launched our new report ‘Accessible Voting: Creating a Democracy That Works for Us All’ in the Houses of Parliament.
Thank you to everyone who joined us to mark this occasion. We are grateful to our host Julie Minns MP and to our speakers James Lee, @AnTaibhseLach, @CroydonRiaPatel, Michelle Anglesea, and Mike Wordingham for their important contributions.
We also thank our funders the JRSST Charitable Trust, our partners @WelcoMe_Users and the report authors @mel_politics, Arun Veerappan, and @ChloeSWilson.
Together, we can create a democracy that truly works for everyone.

Congratulations to @RoseAylingEllis for being awarded an MBE in the King’s Birthday Honours List for services to the Deaf community. 👏
