Connecting Disability to… inclusive advocacy (and peanut butter cups?!?)

This month, we’re talking about the news; particularly what stories about disability make the news and what it can be like to report on them. We’re joined by Spencer van Vloten, from BCDisability.com, to talk about how he got involved in covering disability policy, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on awareness of disability issues and why the disability movement needs to involve people without disabilities. Stick around to the end – we try to make the case that Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups can teach us about advocacy. Also, we do talk about medical assistance in dying (MAID) briefly. If you or someone you know is experiencing thoughts of suicide, call Talk Suicide Canada at 1.833.456.4566.
