By sharing stories of how you, a friend, a colleague, or maybe a family member have dealt with the challenges of living with a disability, we can raise awareness about this issue and bring down some of the barriers to equal accessibility and participation that exist today for people with disabilities.
If you don't have a personal story to share, you can still help! Write about an organization that provides support to people with disabilities or that is helping to provide equal access.
Bloggers can let readers know some facts about the number of people living with disabilities, the challenges they face, and how each of us can work towards creating a society that provides equal access to everyone regardless of our physical or mental abilities.
Whatever you choose to write about, Jason Teitelman and the team at Blogcatalog and BloggersUnite would be thrilled to have you write a post as part of this event.

This is a great posting! Thank you. Now, a favor to ask: I'm working on a book about growing up during the disability-rights revolution. I have a nibble from a publisher, but first I must collect a lot of Twitter and blog followers in the next 6 months! So please go to twitter.com/benmattlin and benmattlin.blogspot.com and click FOLLOW. I promise to reward you. Thanks in advance.
