Huffington Post covers campaign launch

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/rob-mcdowall/disabled-voters-scotland_b_6964738.html

Scotland has witnessed an incredible upsurge in political enthusiasm over recent years with improved equality being a shared desire regardless of which way a person votes or political party they support. As ONE IN FIVE people of working age in Scotland is disabled, we aspire to have political participation and representation that reflects our society.

This long term aspiration is ambitious; it will take time and effort but we believe, that, as a first step, if political parties and organisations ensure meetings and materials are accessible including at local and national levels, our aspiration is achievable. If you agree with us and share our aspiration for Politics to look more like the people it represents, then sign our charter and help us get there!
