the protest at the Parliament

Tressa Burke addressing the demo.

.Pam Duncan-Glancy MSP: what is "intolerable" is subjective, fundamentally informed by what support is available. Speaks of care packages denied, housing inaccessible. "Internalised everyday ableism and discrimination, that makes you feel you can't go on."

As assistance, dignity & choice in our lives are removed & look set to be replaced by assistance to die, we disabled people are fighting for our lives. Scottish Parliament demo today with Liz "blue tick" Carr & Pam Duncan-Glancy MSP, against a Bill wholly lacking in real safeguards.

Disabled ple & members of Glasgow Disability Alliance confounded that 70 MSPs describe personal experience of loved ones' & constituents lack of #Dignity #Choice #Control #BodilyAutonomy & prioritise these experiences over disabled people's daily #LivedExperience & lack of these same #Rights

Emotional day yesterday organising & supporting 100+ Glasgow Disability Alliance members to attend Scottish Parliament debate on #AssistedDying Despite understanding of those advocating for the principle, the extremely high risks of disabled feeling pressure and coercion is too high a price to pay.
