I just wanted to say that a lot of physically disabled people physically literally cannot go out and protest no matter how much we wish we could. Even if everyone at the protest was wearing masks properly to protect the immuno-compromised, a lot of people can't stand or walk around or even get to the protests in the first place. We wouldn't be able to run or move quickly enough if the police attack. I just don't want people to forget that physically disabled people exist, and understand that just because we aren't literally going out to protest doesn't mean we don't care and don't want to fight back...we just literally physically can't...
Cool, ignore the point of the post and keep focusing on the stuff you can't do then 👍
Anyway this was an 8 year old with cerebral palsy taking part in the Capitol Crawl, the protest where physically disabled people literally crawled the steps to the capitol for disability rights. I've posted about it before but it needs to remembered and never forgotten.
People who with unmet needs to survive can do things they couldn't have imagined. I'm not saying this is an expectation, but I don't like the idea you have that All physically disabled people are equally incapable when that just isn't true.
If you can't do it then fine. Next time just reblog and keep that to yourself. I didn't specifically ask people who were too physically disabled to start marching the front lines anyway, bffr
