Our response to Parliament’s Work and Pensions Committee
Last week GMCDP submitted evidence to the Work and Pensions Committee in the House of Commons on how Jobcentres treat disabled people. Our evidence is based on what our members and our communities have told us through the Disabled People’s Panel and the Big Disability Survey.
Linda’s Library: A fundraiser in memory of Linda Laurie
Linda Laurie was a longtime disabled activist who sadly died last year. Many of us will have known Linda, and fought with her for disabled people’s freedom and equality.
Linda read a lot; about politics, about disability, about music, and about travel. She loved novels and poetry. Linda’s partner would like her books to go to other disabled activists, and for people to make a donation to the Disabled People’s Archive in her memory.
