S4 Ep. 42 Politicians Only Want Disabled Mascots, Not Equal Rights

The perfect photo-op. It tells a story of compassion, of inclusion, of a society that cares.But what if the same politician who posed for that photo op just voted against provincial legislation that would've allowed disabled people to live more independently or have marriage equity & no PWD clawbacks?This is the political double standard the disability community knows all too well. Disability advocates are often labeled extremist or shut down for telling the truth. We are viewed as complainers and turned into mascots of inspiration instead. Why do disability advocates get labelled as being extremists or radical for pushing back against discriminatory, ableist government policy?PWD Allies podcast airs every week on YouTube, hosted by Brent Frain.
