Stop the Changes to Access to Work march, and petition hand in to number 10.
27th September 2015
Yesterday was the Stop the Changes to Access to Work march. It was a day of amazing solidarity; AtW users, Deaf, disabled and non-disabled people, interpreters and BSL students, friends, family and allies, DDPOs and unions, working and marching together.
And what people wanted was clear, no limit on aspirations, no cap on AtW. No unnecessary and ill thought out cuts to hours, days, type of support available. No demonising of Deaf and disabled people who want to work.
Instead, a service accessible to Deaf and disabled people, that provides quality support in order that Deaf and disabled people are best able to get, keep, and progress in work.
A march rarely changes anything, but the energy, commitment and solidarity that underpins it. That can bring changes.
See below a few photos from the march.
