Breakthrough has drawn together some of the key issues facing our wide and varied communities that we would like politicians of all parties to answer to for the upcoming General Election. 
“None of us see ourselves as simply disabled - there are all sorts of aspects to our identities - we are mums, dads, children, partners, workers and carers. That is why, at this defining moment in history, Breakthrough UK, a disabled persons led organisation, has drawn together some of the key issues facing our wide and varied communities that we would like politicians of all parties to answer to for the upcoming General Election on 8th June 2017. We are not a party political animal - our values are person-centred and our mission is to promote the rights, responsibilities and respect of disabled people. All disabled people.
There are 13 million disabled people in the UK - 21% of the population. We ask all disabled people, their friends, families and allies to register to vote by 22nd May - in person or using a postal vote – and to use their vote towards creating a better society, and to hold candidates to account on that vision.
The government is ourselves - those of us that will vote, and those of us that will not. Make sure your choices reflect your commitment to creating a society you can be proud of - ask your local candidates to share their vision on these issues.
(If any disabled people are struggling to place their vote or access their local candidates, contact us - we can help).”
