Disabled people are among the marginalised groups invited to take part in an online workshop on how to improve the ‘broken’ social security system.
Unite The Union has set up the workshop, on Zoom on *Thursday 8 October , between 2-4.30pm. It is a follow-up to a day of action held in July but they are hoping for new opinions and have extended the invite to disabled people’s groups and individuals.
DPAC Sheffield, the local branch of national campaigning organisation Disabled People Against Cuts, is offering its support in the form of a video by the organisation’s Jen Jones.
The organisers say: “Our social security system is broken. Unite Community is campaigning for a decent social security system which allows everyone to live with dignity.
We invite you to join us to plan what’s next for the campaign. If you claim benefits yourself, if you know people who do, or simply if you want to live in a society where we treat each other with respect, not punish people for being poor – then we want you with us.”
If you want to take part here are the details of how to sign up.
