Participate in the 3rd Annual Blogging Against Disablism Day, May 1, 2008
It's time to be BADD!
Once again, the amazing Goldfish is sponsoring Blogging Against Disablism Day on May 1st. BADD is an annual event where disabled and non-disabled bloggers everywhere write about ableism, disablism and disability prejudice and discrimination.
Last year over 170 bloggers contributed. I've been proud to be a part of this the past two years and I can't wait to see what everyone has to say this year.
Details on how to participate are at Diary of a Goldfish, including a notice of Language Amnesty. Goldfish explains:
You can write on any subject, specific or general, personal, social or political. In the previous two BADDs, 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.It's a good chance for allies to get their feet wet on a topic they might be hesitant to address, I think. Hope to see you there.

This one is a square divided into a headline naming the event and a grid of 20 colorful boxes, each featuring the simple shadow of a person, with one box showing a person using a wheelchair and one other person holding a cane.)

I just read your post from last year and it's AMAZING. I'm not sure how I missed it.
I am thinking about blogging for this year's BADD.
I just wanted to post and say hello and let you know that I'm working on coming up with something.
WTTO, who is promptly going back to lurking
I hope lots of people try posting for BADD. It's one of those opportunities where I try to venture out of my comfort zone a bit. Don't know what that will look like this year yet. I look forward to reading your contribution.
