This week we shared stories that advocate for and with people with disabilities from around the world. Really great stuff.
Here is a line-up of the links and take a trip down the rabbit-hole-of-awesomeness for more!
- We shared “Simon” and “Happy Birthday CJ”
- We identified some of the key, important messages and shared them together with a recap here in “Getting the Advocate Message”
- Simon is only one of eight great stories. Check out The Amy Street Productions: http://www.amystreet.net
- We can all use the super short advice from SCOPE in the UK – H.I.D.E. for ourselves and to teach our communities.
- SCOPE’s #EndTheAwkward campaign includes this video where folks talk about work: https://youtu.be/IyVcOdOMNEg

Another great short film we didn’t get to talk about is “Menschen.” I was so moved by that film I wrote and wrote and wrote about it. Start here: “Menschen the Movie as Art: A Brief Review.”
