We all want our independence, but public transport is inaccessible for many Disabled People, so we need a car. The Motability Scheme makes that affordable for many of us. That's why we're concerned about rumoured cuts to the scheme. Find out more: https://t.co/1G7HERfL45

Brilliant work from @disactyorks on long overdue action on the shortage of accessible taxis in North Yorkshire. Everyone should be able to get where they need to go, when they need to go. That’s what real accessibility looks like.

Before rights, there was resistance. If you've got Netflix, check out Then Barbara Met Alan. It's the story of Barbara Lisicki, Alan Holdsworth, and the bold, creative protests that won the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. BBC behind the scenes:

30 years ago today, the Disability Discrimination Act was signed into law. Though far from perfect, it was still a landmark victory won through our community's determination and solidarity. 30 years on, we continue to campaign for equality and justice.

We all want the freedom to choose how we travel. But when public transport is inaccessible for so many disabled people, a car can be our only choice. Rumours of Government cuts to Motability are concerning. We're telling the Chancellor to think again: https://t.co/1G7HERfL45

To most people, data isn’t sexy. But bear with us while we get our geek on! Data shapes town planning. Planning shapes access. When Disabled people aren’t in the data, we’re not in the plan. That's where our research comes in. Better insight. Better planning. Better access.

The Railways Bill came to Parliament yesterday. It offers the chance to rebuild Britain's railways so everyone can travel with freedom, dignity and confidence. But only if words lead to meaningful action. Read our response on our website: https://t.co/cZ7Hr7Bbro

Did you know...? Transport for All is older than Transport for London! Over 40 years ago disabled activists came together to fight for our right to travel, and we haven’t stopped since. Visit the archive to learn about our history: https://t.co/xn4REi7RvB

Everyone should be able to use our cities, but as disabled people, broken lifts can stop some of us in our tracks. If you're in London, @EscalateCSDLR is working on improving lift access in Greenwich. Find out more below and head down today!
@TransportForAll Hi, we’re going to be leafleting our petition tomorrow from 5:30 pm at the north entrance in Island Gardens near to Island Gardens DLR. Would you like to join us? https://t.co/E49AdQmQeD

We all want the freedom to travel with confidence and ease. We're making change happen, through action, through community, through Disabled people leading the way. Our journey towards equal access for everyone continues, and it’s powered by all of us.

Great work by Andreas and everyone sharing updates for the Greenwich lifts website, but we shouldn't have to crowdsource access info because it isn't available any other way! In the end, the fix is simple. Lifts that work every day and for everyone who needs them.
It was good to meet Andreas yesterday at the foot tunnel and what a great initiative on his part but ultimately, the lifts need to be reliable. We all share the same concerns. Please do support us! @TransportForAll @InclusionLondon

This Halloween we're remembering some of the frightful access fail monsters we've faced in the past and that progress is possible. Our last in the series... The space invaders!

Did you know...? In the 1980s Disabled people chained themselves to buses with one simple message: "We will ride!" Those protests lead to the first accessible buses in the 90s and changed the way we all move. Learn more on the archive https://t.co/xn4REi7RvB
