High Peak Liberal Democrats
3rd December is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. A day set aside to promote the rights and well-being of people with disabilities.
Let us use today to increase our understanding of disabilities which can be physical, mental, sensory or cognitive.
People with disabilities play a crucial role in the development of our communities. Yet, disabled people are one of the most marginalised groups in our country. Discrimination, isolation and injustice are an everyday reality for many. This is not good enough.
As a Party, we are clear: people with disabilities must have the opportunity to fully participate in every aspect of society. We cannot accept cuts in the support available to disabled people. We cannot sit back while our villages, towns, and cities remain inaccessible. And we cannot stand by as disability hate crimes continue to rise.
We must be relentless in our efforts to build a more inclusive country, because we are all better off when everyone can realise their full potential.
Let us build a brighter future for disabled people everywhere.
