24 Apr 07, 4:40 PM - Blogging Against Disablism 2007
What are you doing on May Day? Let's face it, dancing round a tall pole on the first day of May isn't exactly the most accessible activity for most disabled people, so instead Crippled Monkey would respectfully suggest that you take part in the second annual day.
Last year's first BADD attracted almost 150 posts from across all sorts of blogs, from every corner of the world, and from bloggers both disabled and non-disabled. The 2007 effort is once again being put together by The Goldfish of fame, and it's there that you can find more information, download lovely badges to put on your site to announce your involvement, and get listed as taking part.
After that, all that YOU have to do on Tuesday 1 May - or as near to that date as you can manage - is post something on the subject of Disabilism, Ableism or Disability Discrimination. As The Goldfish says: "You can write on any subject, specific or general, personal, social or political, anything which states an objection to the differential treatment of disabled people".
So sign up now, and get thinking of what you're going to write about. Wouldn't it be great if this year's Blogging Against Disablism could be even bigger than it was in 2006?

Yes, I love reading the BAD posts; they offer a twist on disablism. I like seeing more ables doing it this year, always nice to see them taking on the issue (and...shocking. Don't you think? Smile).
