The issue
Trying to get the government to ratify the UN convention on the rights of people with disabilities
Where we were
In September NCODP member groups from around the county campaigned for equal rights on market days in Kings Lynn, Great Yarmouth, North Walsham, Diss and Norwich.
What we did
We offered 20p (which was towards the cost of a stamp) to get people to sign a postcard to their local MP in support of the convention
The reaction
As well as the convention a lot of awareness (and eyebrows) was raised more generally for disability rights and equality issues.
Local council tells disabled people 'not to offend the public' by giving away moneyd).
