Human Rights Should Never Be Disabled +Teresa Pocock has Down syndrome and was put into a nursing home against her will. Teresa and her sister +Franke James, have launched a Change.org petition, asking for an apology from the CCAC and the Rekai Centre. They are the ones who put Teresa into a Nursing Home and then even called the police trying to keep her there! (CCAC has stepped forward, but the Rekai Centre is still holding out...) Please support Teresa's fight for Human Rights and her campaign for Disability Rights by signing her petition: http://www.change.org/en-CA/petitions/forced-into-longterm-care-at-49-my-sister-with-down-syndrome-wants-apology
Great story in the Toronto Star by Antonia Zerbisias about +Teresa Pocock, +Franke James and myself and our adventures helping Teresa to “power-walk” toward independent living!
