More than Needs: Demand appreciation as well as support.

The More than Needs campaign is a response to the one-dimensional stance adopted by many disability charities.

Specifically, the RNIB’s new See the Need campaign is purely negative and thus insulting to people who experience the world via other than visual means. It may be necessary to demand support, as the RNIB asserts, but not at the expense of appreciation.

If you sign the More than Needs petition you are calling for complexity in the representation of disability. In particular, you are urging the abandonment or else marked improvement of the RNIB’s See the Need campaign.
