#MassLobbyAgainstBenefitCuts

Disabled people from across the UK came to Parliament to lobby MPs against disability benefit cuts

Lobby organised by disability rights UK Well Adapt @dis-ppl-protest.bsky.social & @crips-against-cuts.bsky.social

Thank you all disabled people from home for support

Somebody who has worked tirelessly for the cause no longer feels safe in the community that they started and is experiencing a mental health crisis. Please have some respect.

We are all working towards the same goal - fighting the benefit cuts. Bullying and ableism is the opposite of what CAC was supposed to be about. AI is used in much more harmful ways than somebody using it as an access tool to fight for their own liberation.

We are aware of the dangers of AI, and are developing systems that allow artists within our community to easily submit graphics / posters. However, if somebody needs to use AI in order to contribute, then we value their contributions as much as anybody else’s.

The member of our community who was on the receiving end of the harassment - which included doxxing and d*ath threats - uses AI as an access tool, and these posts have been integral to our movement. We will never attack somebody for using an aid
…

This "debate" about who should use what toilet doesn’t benefit anyone. It doesn’t fix the underfunding of women's refuges, NHS waiting lists leaving women in terrible pain, mums skipping meals to feed their kids. How about we get on with tackling the real issues affecting women?

Image is on a blue background with purple & blue text The DWP Survey on how recipients are spending their pip money is being sent out So how should you respond? Option A: The DWP have no legal right to this information and you have no legal obligation to provide them with this information. Their aim is to further stigmatise disability benefits and invalidate disabled people’s experiences Option B: Respond with Opposition Respond with a letter of opposition highlighting the injustices of the proposed changes and their injustices Remember; give no information on how you spend your personal independence payments

A poster for a Bristol “CRIPS AGAINST CUTS” protest. At the top, there’s a red and black graphic of a wheelchair with a raised fist above it, surrounded by dripping red lines. The main text reads: “Broadmead Protest, April 26th, 2–4 pm, BS1 3ED.” A map shows the protest location near Broadmead and Merchant Street in Bristol, with a large red X marking the spot. Side text notes “Face masks required” and lists activities: “Wellbeing area, Speeches, Crafts, Refreshments.” Text at the bottom reads “PIP FRAUD IS LESS THAN 0.02% WHY PUNISH THE CRIPS? Join Crips against cuts” There is a QR code in the bottom left corner

We’re fighting back against brutal cuts to disabled people’s support.

Face masks required for everyone’s safety.

After the protest, there will be a chance to chat with people from Bristol CAC.

If you can’t attend, you can send us your words of solidarity to be shared at the protest (check insta)

Our conversation tomorrow!
