Blogging Against Disablism Day will be on 1st May, 2010

Blogging Against Disablism Day, May 1st 2010Blogging Against Disablism day will be on Saturday, 1st May. This is the day where all around the world, disabled and non-disabled people will blog about their experiences, observations and thoughts about disability discrimination. In this way, we hope to raise awareness of inequality, promote equality and celebrate the progress we've made.

How to take part.

1. Post a commentbelow to say you intend to join in. I will then add you to the list of participants on the sidebar of this blog. Everyone is welcome.

2. Spread the word by linking to this site, displaying our banner and/ or telling everyone about it. The entire success of Blogging Against Disablism Day depends entirely on bloggers telling other bloggers and readers in advance.

3. Write a post on the subject of disability discrimination, disablism or ableism and publish it on May 1st - or as close as you are able. Podcasts, videocasts and on-line art are also welcome. You can cover any subject, specific or general, personal, social or political. In the previous three BADD, folks have written about all manner of subjects, from discrimination in education and employment, through health care, parenting, family life and relationships, as well as the interaction of disablism with racism and sexism. Every year I have been asked, so it's worth saying; the discrimination experienced by people with mental ill health is disablism, so naturally such posts are welcome too.

You can see the archives for previous years here: 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009.

Blogging Against Disablism Day is not a carnival of previously published material. The point about doing this around one day is that it is a communal effort and all the posts connect to one another. You can of course use your own post to promote other things you've written as you wish.

4. Come back here to Diary of a Goldfish on the day to let everyone know that you've posted and to check out what other people have written. I shall post links to everyone's posts (slowly) throughout the day, creating an archive. However, I do need you to comment and leave the URL of your post or else I shan't find your post and won't be able to link to it.

Accessibility

Naturally, Blogging Against Disablism Day invites contributions from people with all variety of impairments and none at all. You are welcome to contribute with podcasts, video-blogging or anything else that allows you to take part. And whilst May 1st is when this all takes place, nobody who happens to have a bad day that Saturday is going to be left out of the archive.

If anyone has any questions about web accessibility,Irecommend the Accessify Forum. I am not an expert on web accessibility myself, so if there are any suggestions about how I can make this day more accessible, please e-mail me at diaryofagoldfish at googlemail.com


The Linguistic Amnesty

Whilst discussions about language and the way it can be used to oppress or empower us are more than welcome, please respect the language that people use, particularly to describe themselves in their own contributions. We all have personal preferences, there are cultural variations and different political positions which affect the language we use. Meanwhile, non-disabled contributors can become nervous about using the most appropriate language to use, so please cut everyone as much slack as possible on the day.

At the same time, do not feel you have to use the same language that I do, even to talk about "disablism". If you prefer to blog against disability discrimination, ableism or blog for disability equality, then feel free to do so.

In 2008 I wrote a basic guide to the Language of Disability which I hope might explain some of the thinking behind the different language disabled people prefer to use about themselves.


Links & Banners


To link back to this post, simply copy and paste the following code:


These banners have seemed popular over the last couple of years and I am yet to think of anything better. If anyone fancies editing these images or coming up with something new, then please do so. You are free to use and mess with these as you like, so long as you use them in support of Blogging Against Disablism Day. If you already have the banner, you just need to change the URL that it links to from last year's BADD. Otherwise, you simply need to copy the contents of one of these boxes and paste it on your blog, in a post or on the sidebar as you like. The banners come in two colour combinations and two sizes. The sizes are a 206 pixels square or 150 x 200 pixels.

Blogging Against Disablism Day, May 1st 2010This is the black and white banner which reads "Blogging Against Disablism". Here's the code for the square one:



And here's the code for the narrower one (which can be seen here):

Er, shouldn't it be blogging against *ableism*, not disablism? It's not like we're actually *against* disablism, like we're against racism or sexism.

Just as an aside, could you disable the CAPTCHA on this, at least temporarily - or else offer some alternate means of contact? I know of a blind person who wants to participate who can't play the audio CAPTCHA either. And of course, you're also blocking out deaf-blind people...

codeman38 said...

...Never mind, I see you have an e-mail address included now. I assume applicants can contact you via that means as well if they can't solve the CAPTCHA on the comment form?

I will be happy to participate and to promote BADD! I blog and work as a filmmaker who is fighting Hollywood stereotypes and blatant industry wide discrimination as well as provide an authentic voice, vision, and representation of paraplegics and others with a disAbility as I myself am a para from a SCI that I survived with in 1995! My blog is at http://Larrysblog.AbilitiesUnited.com - It is well past time to allow those with a disAbility who can represent themselves the opportunity to write, direct, and act in movies and show the world that we have a voice and a life that even well intentioned able bodied cannot represent in movies and television! My movies will be a significant "turning point" in American cinema for those with a disAbility. The time is now!

krishna(krishna.0214@yahoo.co.in) said...

to remove disabilism in indian context still need of inclusion of disabled person in policy making so that policies can be made for everyone by everyone.

disabilism is a social constraction, it is in our hand either make it or remove it.

krishna kumari said...

currently working on a project on-
LANGUAGE USAGE FROM THE PRESPECTIVE OF DISABILITY BY PRINT MEDIA.
I am surprised that neither in any domestic law nor in UNCRPD, there is no guideline for using term for disability. there is only a provison that language which is in used, state parties should mind that inherent dignity be respect.
may be from the democretic view it is fine but if in a democratic country like india there can be a provison for language usage (in dalit case) than why not in such case still in hindi we are using "VIKLANG" having much negative meaning.

Ram Pal said...

At the ancient time, the disabled were recogniszed as statue of kindness/pity. But they do not require any type of pity, they need co-operation only. The co-operation should not be formar. The society requires to step for friendly atmosphere towards them, where every physically challnaged can reach and they cannot be bounded due to their diablity.

It cannot be approached because of making speech only, we will have begin it from our families indivisually for them. Only, on our someone's homage, we feed the disables in the NGOs or Institutes for disables or it is not upto to take one disables' responsibility on our shoulders. If, the disables are given a suitable and co-operative atmosphere, then they may be urban successful in the existing time.

But, it has been seen that they are cut off from the society and they settled in their own world, that is totally wrong and unjustice and they start to feel separation and castism in the society.

The policies of the govt. reauires to be changed/revised, under all the policies, the physically challanged feel unable to fight for their rights in the court and it makes them felt their disability. These policies and laws required to be applied in the society so that the disables can meet their rights before their fight. It is necessary that the society of the disables should be awaken.

I am having computer issues today! But mu most recent post talks about the issues of Hollywood and the representation of those of us with a disAbility. This is my business and what I do all the time! And more importantly to provide authentic representation in my films! Please check out - http://larrysblog.abilitiesunited.com/2010/04/28/hollywood-sign-symbolizes.aspx
and the home page for other posts! BADD 2010!

We put two posts up at The F Word. Mine is What Is Disablism? and Amy Clare's is On Being A Disabled Blogger.

Cat in the Cream said...

My apologies, I wasn't able to write the post I was intending to as ironically, talking about my anxiety disorder makes me anxious.

Hopefully I'll be able to come up with something for next year that isn't quite so hard to write.

Again, apologies.

I finally got my post written:

Please put it in the Employment section.

Thank you!

I didn't have enough spoons to post on Saturday but heard you are doing time amnesty -- if I am still eligible my post would go best under employment and is found at http://sophiascall.blogspot.com/2010/05/blogging-against-disablism.html.

Thanks!

Better late than never:

This possibly fits under politics; volunteerism's disablist message.

Scrumptious said...

I know I'm horribly late, but would it be possible to add my post to the list? (I feel like I'm back in school explaining a late paper!) I really hope I can!
