In our last post we re-launched #107days and shared the video that captured some of the wonderful action last year. In this post we wanted to provide some further context for the campaign. The simplest way of doing that is by sharing one key document, the #JusticeforLB Audit Report, and a Newsnight feature, both produced […]
So we’re here again, the end of #107days for the second time. It is hard to believe it’s now two years since LB died. There really aren’t any words. Today we’re pleased to be able to share The Tale of Laughing Boy with you. Produced by the brilliant My Life My Choice and Oxford Digital Media, […]
Following on from our last pre-Glastonbury post, today we’re back with more from Dan Goodley and Rebecca Lawthom. A few highlights in snaps are dotted throughout the post, check out twitter for more. Back to Worthy Farm to reclaim our humanity: #JusticeforLB and the productive potential of debility politics Dan Goodley (University of Sheffield) and Rebecca […]
Week 14 is the week of Glastonbury and the return of the #JusticeforLB flag. Today’s post is written by the Lawthom-Goodleys, Dan, Rebecca, Ruby and Rosa, and we share it as they make their way to Glastonbury. Keep your eyes peeled for them and do share your pics #JusticeforLB #107days. Going to festivals is one of […]
This post offers personal reflections about an experience just over two years ago. It is my (George Julian’s) opinion, reflections and memory. I offer it as food for thought for #LDWeek15 as JusticeforLB Week 13 continues to explore whether charities are part of the problem. This post is not an attack on all (or any) […]
Today we find ourselves in the middle of Learning Disability Week 2015 #LDWeek15. We thought we’d use Week 13 to ask a question which many seem very uncomfortable with, are charities part of the problem? We’re starting off with questioning awareness raising. So, what is Learning Disability Week I hear you ask? It’s an awareness […]
As you’ll all have been aware the last two weeks, Weeks 10 and 11, have been given over to the #LBBill in the Justice Shed and in #107days. After truly sterling work by you all we’d managed to contact 338 MPs before the Private Members’ Bill ballot #PMBBallot was drawn. The ballot saw 462 MPs […]
This blog post, on the eve of the Private Members’ Bill ballot #PMBBallot makes some suggestions of what to do if your MP wins the golden ticket in tomorrow’s ballot (and some of them might be useful even if they don’t). Thanks to the unstinting efforts of #JusticeforLB’ers across the country, at the time of writing […]
Last week, Week 10, we asked the amazing collective of campaigners that make up #JusticeforLB for help. We asked you to tell your local MP about the #LBBill and ask for their support in the forthcoming Private Members Bill ballot on Thursday. We asked and you delivered, we couldn’t be prouder or more grateful for […]
Today’s blog post is a guest blog from John Lish. When the first draft of the #LBBill was shared, John was one of the many people who provided feedback, and his feedback is directly reflected in, and vastly improves, the current draft of the Bill. As part of Week 10, an action week to encourage you all […]
