Pat's Petition is the people's petition for every one who wants to tell the government how they feel about the perfect storm of cuts and changes affecting disabled people and carers. Pat Onions submitted the e-petition to the government website.
Pat is blind and also a carer. When we asked her why she submitted this petition she said:
"We were determined to attend the Hardest Hit rally in Edinburgh. Determined, in spite of disability, to stand with the others who had made the long and difficult journey. Determined to show we were united as one voice against the vicious cuts we are all enduring. We knew there were many thousands who couldn’t make it. Disability, ill health, providing care, or cost would prevent them coming. We made it.
To the many there and those who came in spirit……….this petition is for us all."
Pat’s Petition reads – Stop and review the cuts to benefits and services which are falling disproportionately on disabled people, their carers and families.
Please sign the petition - even more - can you find other people to sign and support us and ways of reaching out to more people. We must get this petition to 100,000 signatures for the government to hear it.
