We are leaving Twitter/X.
A full statement of why we made this decision is below.

As a disabled-led organisation, we stand in solidarity with d/Deaf, disabled, and neurodivergent people and will continue to challenge the institutionalised oppression threatening their rights to an equitable existence. We support the rights of LGBTQIA+ people, the legitimacy of identities and their lived experiences. We welcome migrant communities and asylum seekers and we recognise that disability justice has and must be international and intersectional.

We recognise that using other social media platforms such as Meta also require compromises which may be challenging to our core values. We believe that on balance these platforms remain important for many of the audiences we communicate with - particularly about funding and training opportunities - who may not hear about these in other ways. We will continue to assess our participation in other platforms in the coming months, and in line with our policies.
