Like myself 17.5% of the world's population are disabled. Despite this only 2.3% of disabled people are represented on-screen & even more surprising is that 95% of disabled character's are played by non-disabled actor's. No one wants to bann non-disabled actor's from ever playing these role's but  it only seems fair that the figure should be be at least equal.

Despite the loud declarations from Hollywood about inclusivity and diversity, there's a stark absence of representation for people with impairments across the whole entertainment industry. Not only is this disappointing but it's also so boring to see the same types of people used all the time. The lack of opportunities aren't just in-front of the camera but exist in all area's of of the media.

It is essential for Hollywood especially to set the standard by prioritizing diversity and inclusion of different people but especially disabled. This is not only great for ethical reasons but also because it leads to more authentic story telling, promotes social change, breaks stereotypes & provide's better role model's to aspire to. This positive action would benefit us all & encourage more understanding, inclusivity, compassion, respectfulness, tolerance & support. 

It is vital we all stand together & demand change's are properly made & proven so disabled people aren't felt  more excluded than they do already. Sadly unless more people sign & share this campain nothing will change.

Please play your part by signing and telling other's  about this campaign in any way you can. Only with your help can we make the entertainment industry more inclusive & Less exclusive.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
