This is a reminder about the Channel 4 documentary airing shortly tonight at 9pm BST. It's an important show highlighting the challenges disabled people like myself face with air trael: (channel4.com/programmes/soph…). The documentary, which I've had input on, shows us how years of neglect have impacted the disability community, with many issues left unaddressed and promises broken. Last June, Sir Keir Starmer met with Sophie Morgan and the Rights on Flights team, pledging his support. We're excited about the potential for real change and look forward to working together to make air travel accessible for all. So let's come together at this important moment for disability rights, bridging disabled people, non-disabled people, industry, and governments. Watch the documentary and share your constructive and solutions-oriented thoughts from this powerful piece of TV. We can all build an accessible and fair world for everyone. Airlines and airports should care about all passengers, disabled and all customers. With nobody left behind.

🎬🚌 A group of students from our Pre-Employment Transition Program Summer Camp recently attended an open house event at Miami Media School in Doral, and it was a perfect opportunity for our students to explore their career interest in media. This multimedia field trip included visiting different stations in the school, including a broadcasting studio, the audio creation department, and the podcast studio. At each station the students had the opportunity to hear a brief lecture from the teachers and ask questions to gain insight into their career backgrounds. 🎥 Hands-on activities related to each station, such as a recording session to create a video commercial in the broadcasting station, made this multimedia experience an educational and unforgettable field trip. Thank you, Miami Media School! Together, we prove it's possible to see without sight 💙 @MiamiMediaSch #MiamiLighthouse #PreEmploymentTransitionProgram #MiamiLeaders #CommunityLeaders #CareerResearch #SupporttheBlind #DisabilityPrideMonth #VisualImpairment
