User Profile

I am a queer disabled activist who has recently branched into separate (non disability specific) campaign work on consenting adults and sexual rights in Consenting Adult Action Network, as National Convenor.

I have over a decade experience in the UK Disabled people's movement as a campaigner, musician, protestor and occasional advocate, writer and artist - I've also done a few bits of international work too. I am a member Greater Manchester Coalition of Disabled People. More often though, I am involved in the UK Disabled people's Direct Action Network (DAN) which specialises in non-violent civil disobedience style protests. (Join DAN's discussion group by sending a blank email to danmail-subscribe@yahoogroups.com )

My special interests on disability matters are disability bioethics, arts propaganda, campaign work and generally building our power and pride by getting people to join in with fighting back when we are under attack. For further understanding of what disability rights are all about, I recommend this Declaration as a starting point: The Right To Live and Be Different - Disabled People International http://www.independentliving.org/docs1/dpi022000.html .
