Legislation!! In our Time??
Walk for Autism! Walk for Legislation!
On Saturday 13th October 2007, we will walk from the gates of Stormont to
the steps of Parliament Buildings to present letters, petitions and notices
to our MLAs. We are here! We will help ourselves, by helping each other
to always be here. Our politicians are on a promise! They voted unanimously
for legislation on the 9th January 2007 so let's encourage them by keeping
up the pressure. Let's encourage them by showing them who they are doing
this for. It is time for the children, young people and adults with Autism
to be offered the chance to take the front rank in this campaign for equality
of provision. The Walk for Autism Legislation was a family affair.
Autism NI organised through the regional Branch and Support Group Network.
Access to Stormont Estate for this Saturday event was subject to security
protocols and numbers were limited. This was a unique opportunity for parents,
professionals and politicians to walk together and, with each step, know
that we are leaving social Injustice and ignorance behind and on 13th October
2007, 20,000. Signatures were presented to each political party. 600 people
walked.
