The Guardian is Looking For Experiences of Blue Badge or Motability Harassment

Posts: 2,463 Online Community Team
The Guardian is currently looking to speak with disabled people who have experienced criticism, "policing," or harassment from the public regarding their Blue Badge or Motability vehicle.
The call out is being led by disabled journalist and author Frances Ryan (who wrote Crippled: Austerity and the Demonisation of Disabled People). She is looking to highlight the challenges and judgment many in our community face when simply trying to get around.
How to take part…
If you’d like to share your experience, you can fill out the form on The Guardian’s website here.
You can choose to remain anonymous if you prefer and your stories could help raise vital awareness of the "disability policing" that happens far too often.
