Welcome to the new page by One Voice's Web Lurker - each month he tells you about sites of interest to Disabled People.

 

This Month I came accross a site for you die-hard lefties:

 

red disability homepage Red Disability is exactly what it says on the tin - a socialist website on disability issues.

They describe themselves like this:

 

Red Disability is not a group, charity, political party, or any form of formal organisation. It is a website on disability issues, and how they relate to a left-wing socialist outlook.

Red Disability's view is that disability prejudice is not caused by human nature, but by stereotypes promoted by the organisation of capitalist society.

Disability discrimination can be overt discrimination tied in with prejudice, but is perhaps more commonly the exclusion of people with disabilities from activities resulting from an inaccessible built environment.

isability discrimination is a form of oppression, which can be overcome by various actions, at all levels of society.

 

It's good to see a political approach to disability issues, and they have a lot of information on our rights, so why not go and have a look for yourself - the website is set up to be friendly for people who use text readers as well as sighted web users.

The website is here: Red Disability
