Here's to the leaders who are blind or vision impaired who have led in all the ways that you have this year! Your impact is noticed and it makes a difference in creating disability-inclusive communities through direct lived-experience leadership.
We know there are more out there though! Tag blind leaders you want to acknowledge in the comments. We'd love to celebrate with them.
On International Day of #People with #Disabilities, please note some disabilities are #invisible

DWI (along with our allies in the Disability Participation News Hub) will always keep pushing for equity, access and dignity for all. We’re looking forward to sharing our event report and continuing to build our community even stronger.
And if you’d like to support this work, we will be looking for new volunteers when we come back after the Christmas Break so watch this space!
Happy International Day of Persons with Disabilities!
This year's #IDPwD theme is: "Fostering #disability #inclusive societies for advancing social progress"
