THE CAMPAIGN
ACCOUNTABILITY FOR ACTION.
The disabled community don’t want empty promises. We want proof of action.
Because disability inclusion means taking tangible steps to make change happen.
We know the disability community want to see real progress, so IDPD is a perfect day to share the message and show how we are holding ourselves accountable by taking action.
This IDPD, there’s no better time to show the world what disability inclusion really means and call for the action we want to see.
From Monday, 4th of December 2023 – Friday, 15th of December 2023, we invite you to join us in our #AccountabilityForAction campaign.
