It's the International Day of Persons with Disabilities while politicians parrot platitudes yet legislate poverty & omnibus bills that harm Disabled People, unhouse the most at risk, & trade people & planet for privileged profit.

Disabled People PwD, Patients, Elders, People in Legislated Poverty & Unhoused face highest risk of harm from climate disasters (ice storm etc)

Whose lives depend on utilities & power for devices (medical, accessibility, communication), health, safety & emergency egress. Evacuation? Near impossible

There's no Disability Justice without intersectional decolonial Indigenous, Racial, social, health, enviro & climate justice

Disasters kill Disabled People 1st & leave Survivors Disabled. From Turtle Island to Falasteen, Congo, Sudan, & beyond: we're only as safe as the most at risk are safe

Colour image of Aasiya Hussain, Racialized Brown Woman Hijabi outdoors in nature. A rare sighting of Aasiya in her natural habitat, pre-new-normal. Invisible disabilities outside of the camera frame become apparent disabilities in her new normal of perpetual PPE in medical isolation, wheelchair, assistive devices, etc. Freshly cleaned sandy shores along Lake Ontario shadow beneath the setting sun. On its left, pristine water gently ripple soft waves reflecting the orange, yellow, pink, mauve, blue, & white sky. Airy cloud canopies meet lush emerald green forest enveloping the beach behind her. Adorned in a light cream delicate satin & organza hijab pashmina, embelished in light brown outlined flowers, with light brown dress. Blushing smile & almond eyes. White text reads "Disability Disaster Management Environmental Social Justice". Active wheelchair user symbol in white. Grey text: "By: Aasiya Hussain". White Ecohesian logo with Earth as "o".

Across the Metroland papers today, Brad writes about the silent crisis in housing: accessibility for disabled renters. And, friends, Bill 60's speeding up of evictions and limits on those owing arrears will only make things worse. Link in bio or tr.ee/b-M2MEhM8O
Alt: a blue background with yellow and white text, highlighting issues related to accessible rental housing. In the top left, bold yellow text reads, "Bill 60 Makes the Silent Crisis of Accessible Rental Housing Even Worse." There is a logo to the right, featuring "DJNO" in yellow and "in metroland" in white, accompanied by a stylized sun graphic. Below, there is a dark translucent box containing text: "Disabled tenants have to weigh their options every day they leave their home. They wonder, “Will I be able to get to my medical appointment if the elevator in my building goes down?” Elevator failure and lack of repair regularly trap older adults and tenants with disabilities at home, from Toronto to Sudbury, for weeks at a time..." read the full article for the rest of the quote, too long for alt. text in these apps!

And if we fail to build accessible housing now? “History offers a warning... We need homes that are permanently affordable and that meet people's needs now, and for generations to come.”

As they say here, we have the tools we need to make housing accessible and affordable—but we need the Building Code to catch up fast and for Build Canada Homes to ensure that funds for affordable housing are held to the highest standard of accessible housing construction.

Their calls here are the same calls all members of the Accessible Housing Network and our many allies have been making for years—that affordability and accessibility are not a tradeoff or opposed, but instead two goals all disabled people on these territories need and demand
