Changing the world

Hi my name is Heidi. I am part of CYA. I am an activist fighting for the rights of disabled people.

I joined CYA as I have personal experience of Facebook hate. I want to use my lived experiences to raise awareness and stamp it out. 

My dream for CYA is that in the next couple of years we can work with social media companies to remove the hate that's online. I would like social media companies to talk to us and consult with us about online disability hate. 

If I had a magic wand I would want people's perceptions of disabled people to change. I am hoping they will think before they post.

To see this dream come true we need to recruit more people to get the jobs done. We have a lot of different jobs to do so having extra help with these would make us achieve our goals quicker. If you are looking for something to do I can say CYA is a good use of your time as we are trying to change the world! 

I would like to talk to more people about our Ally Pack and campaign. I would like to have a 1:1 with Ellie Simmonds or Sally Phillips.
