Allies: the Theme of the 33rd Disability Blog Carnival

Ruth has put together the 33rd (WOW!) Disability Blog Carnival and it is now available on her blog, WHEELIE CATHOLIC.  Borrowing from Ruth:

"The theme of this carnival is "Appreciating Allies". So, what and who are allies? Wikipedia says that " those who share a common goal and whose work toward that goal is complementary may be viewed as allies for various purposes even when no explicit agreement has been worked out between them."

Ruth pointed out that there are opportunities for those of us in the disability community to act as allies. In so doing, she was kind enough to mention Anna's Pakman's survey on Media Consumption and people with disabilities on her carnival.  According to Anna:

“the Nielsen ratings track media consumption for just about every population EXCEPT our community so the only way I can get this data is through your assistance. All individual survey responses are anonymous and will be kept strictly confidential.”

This is a perfect opportunity to say "thanks" to all ALLIES who in one way or the other support our efforts. And a special thanks to Ruth.  We are fortunate to consider her an ally, as are many others.  Of that we have no doubt.

Thanks. And thanks for your contributions to the carnival - and for all both of you do as allies for our community.

I like the new look of the blog btw!
