In the 1990s disabled people, largely organised by Direct Action Network (DAN), hit the headlines as they chained themselves to buses and buildings to highlight the inequality disabled people faced. These protests influenced the Disability Discrimination Act, which in turn has led to improvements in equality, access and attitudes. But the fight for equality is far from over and whilst DAN no longer exists on the scale it did in the 1990s the spirit of fighting for your rights goes on in a new generation of young campaigners. The five young people profiled here by Emma Bowler have an impressive tally of campaigning achievements and their message is loud and clear – they are not giving up the fight for equality until it is won.
