COPOH/CCD organised disability walkout from Rehabilitation International
World Assembly in 1979 then helped organised DPI www.dpi.org formation in
1981.
Lots of good folks in Winnipeg can help you with the history.

Frank

Subject: shift to "cross-disability" organizing
This is a bit of a rushed inquiry but maybe one of you helpful people will
help me.
I'm searching for a good source/s to cite re. the shift from
disability-specific rights organizations (e.g. by/of disabled people, not
charities for them) to a "cross-disability" framework for disability rights
organizing. In Canada, I remember people talking about this around me in
the early 90's but I don't remember reading about it other than very
briefly. Can someone direct me? And don't feel the need to send me .pdf's,
thanks -- I am lucky to have good library access. I'm cross-posting this on
the SDS-listserve (apologies) because it would be nice to get a range of
sources, e.g. from UK/US/Canada and Elsewhere.
thanks very much,
Kate Kaul
