CILT’s D-Next Accessible Media lab invites you to our first D-Next Screening Night!
 
This screening will showcase Toronto-area disabled and Deaf storytellers from our D-Next media project, telling their stories about disability and Deaf community issues and culture. Countering the erasure of our community's stories in the mainstream media and pop culture, the project reflects the independent living philosophy of Nothing About Us Without Us!

The GTA Disability Coalition invites people with disabilities and their allies to a federal election forum on disability issues.
