Many   of my favorite tweeps and Facebook friends are bloggers who regularly write about disability, accessibility or assistive technology.  Since this is what they do anyway, I wonder how \u201cBlog Against Disablism Day\u201d will alter their routine.  However, it\u2019s an interesting idea.  It is a wonderful opportunity for those who are reluctant to write about their life experience as a person with a disability, but the idea of \u2018safety in numbers\u201d might encourage their  participation.    I\u2019ve not heard of it before, but the event  has been around for a while.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What really puts the juice in the tank for this event is the centralized hub from which posts can be located.  If you go to the site and submit your intention to participate, your link is placed on their sidebar for easy access and sharing.  Learn more here:<\/p>\n

Fair warning to screen reader users:  I was unable to submit my own entry, because the audio verification service seemed not to be working.  I have made a number of attempts to log in, to no avail.  Perhaps I will try again later. <\/p>\n

The \u201cBlogging Against Disablism\u201d day is an opportunity for anyone to raise their voice on their own behalf or that of someone else, whether disabled or not.  Read all about the event and plan to participate on May 1st.  <\/p>\n
