GDA’s “Disabled People Challenge Poverty”

150+ members of Glasgow Disability Alliance and their supporters will come together to raise the collective voices of disabled people against the injustices of poverty facing disabled people and the inequalities which arise as a result. GDA’s Purple Poncho Players will deliver a Performance highlighting the lived experiences of disabled people facing poverty and the interactions of poverty with additional barriers which disabled people also face. Keynote address will be given by Angela O’Hagan, Chair of the Scottish Human Rights Commission and there will also be a live Panel Discussion including reps from the Scottish Poverty Alliance, Joseph Rowntree Foundation, Glasgow Centre for Population Health and Scottish Women’s Budget Group. Booking is essential and disabled people will be prioritised.

The event is available in person or online. The afternoon is for GDA members only 2.15 – 3.45pm.
