Here's to the leaders who are blind or vision impaired who have led in all the ways that you have this year! Your impact is noticed and it makes a difference in creating disability-inclusive communities through direct lived-experience leadership.
We know there are more out there though! Tag blind leaders you want to acknowledge in the comments. We'd love to celebrate with them.

Today, on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we’re sharing our latest blog post: Common misconceptions about disability.
Misunderstandings about disability continue to shape how products, services and workplaces are designed. Ideas such as disability being always visible, always permanent, or only relevant to a small group of people can lead to barriers that are both unnecessary and avoidable.

As technologists, we have a unique and wonderful opportunity to make the world more inclusive, and so today, on #IDPWD, please think about how you can make your work more inclusive, more accessible, more open.
By helping one group of people, we make experiences better for everyone -- think about how captions have made your life easier, even if your hearing is perfect.
Our #Accessibility Handbook is a great place to start: https://ter.li/rff2zc

I’m in my employer’s flagship event in honour of International Day of People with Disabilities.
Our keynote speaker opened her speech with…
You’re never going to guess. I mean, go on, try. But you’re never going to guess.
Except you are.

Happy #IDPWD colleagues, comrades and community!
Natalie Wade and I got you a present. Well, it is probably a practical present for the Attorney-General, but you might like to open it for him.
The article is free until 31 December 2023 to celebrate IDPWD (thanks Leadership from SAGE Journals and Deb Candy).

Nothing About Us, Without Us, Is For Us. A guiding principle of all movements for justice and dignity. It arose from the struggles of people with disabilities in South Africa.

We just celebrated our 10th Anniversary 🎉 ⭐ !! My sister, @TeresaHeartchild, has lived with me and my husband, @billiamjames since Dec 1, 2013. It's a victory in so many ways. Teresa was wrongly labelled 'incapable' in 2013 and put in a nursing home. Most people don't get out alive—and they don't become #HumanRights champions as Teresa has done. 🙌

13 member states still allow #ForcedSterilisation😱
Women & girls with disabilities & all those that can carry pregnancies are especially targeted.
The #GenderBasedViolence Directive must ban it!

I am disabled.
I am disabled not because my body and brain are different, but because our society renders my state of being disabling.
"But you look healthy!"
But you can't see my disability.
You'll never see my chronic pain. You won't see my bruises. You won't notice when I've recently dislocated something for having the gall to move. My ADHD and anxiety won't show up on my sleeve.
When I'm most impacted, you won't see me at all.
But I am disabled.

It's International Day of Persons with Disabilities today (although many of us would prefer 'disabled people').
Autism is widely considered a disability, meaning that autistic people have a right to freedom from discrimination, and for 'reasonable adjustments' to be made.
Not all autistic people think of ourselves as disabled, but the #neurodiversity movement & the overlapping movement for autistic rights are best understood as part of the wider movement for human rights for disabled people.
AMASE is a Disabled People's Organisation (DPO), specifically an Autistic People's Organisation.
A DPO is a representative organisation run by, and for, disabled people. The UN #CRPD mandates a special role for DPOs: states must actively involve persons with disabilities, including children with disabilities, through our representative organizations.

Hi! I’ve never done something like this before, but it’s #IDPwD so why not? My name is Kathleen, and I’m disabled. I’ve got #hEDS (that acts suspiciously like vEDS), #POTS, #MCAS, #SevereAsthma, #CSFLeak, essential tremor, occipital neuralgia…the list goes on and on. You can read about my recent neuro/vision struggles in the Nerve Block Saga link in my profile. This is an Amazon wishlist (also in my profile), mostly for #disability related products, if you’re so inclined: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/19RHSTWOMQDQ0?ref_=wl_share
