FREE TO BE VACCINATED Paul Sawka and his family took a trip to the Dominican Republic in February 2020 Fearing that COVID-19 might spread across North Ame...rica, they scrubbed down their seats on the aircraft with antibacterial wipes Not long after arriving back in Calgary, Canada went into lockdown. Paul, an Awareness Leader at the Canadian Down Syndrome Society, soon became an advocate for hand-washing and following stay-at-home orders. This year he has another big mission: advocating for vaccine priority for his community of people with Down syndrome COVID-19 is 10x more lethal for people with Down Syndrome and Paul Sawka is advocating nationally for a more equitable immunization program in Canada.

Free to beA CITY COUNCILLOR Ángela Bachiller became a Spanish city councillor for Valladolid in 2013. That year, the ruling People’s Party planned to cut... funding for the Dependency Law, impacting those who couldn't lead independent lives. The new councillor took a public stance against her party and said, If there are people who need resources, we must give them. She’s tenacious, bright, and Spain’s first politician with Down syndrome. #FreeToBe #Freedom #LarcheCanada #LaVieALarche #DisabilityAwareness #DisabilityPride #C19Vaccine #ReadyForMyShot #DownSyndrome L'Arche Internationale L'Arche Comox Valley L'Arche Greater Vancouver L'Arche Edmonton L'Arche Calgary L'Arche Association of Lethbridge L'Arche Saskatoon L'Arche Winnipeg L'Arche Sudbury Inc.

Big THANK YOU, Kathy and We Got This Canada!!!! You make the world better!

If you always leave us out, people think we are not able to participate. That’s why most people don’t realize that we have a contribution to make. Include us a...nd you will see that we have so much to give. Watch LISTEN here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7dca7U7GI8&feature=youtu.be LISTEN is a short film made by and with nonspeaking autistic people. The musician Sia publicly offered to fund Communication First to make an introductory short to her new movie MUSIC, however after a team of nonspeaking and autistic people brought together by @CommunicationFIRST previewed MUSIC and provided feedback and recommendations to Sia on how to improve it, they received no response from her team. The short was intended to help humanize and spread awareness about real nonspeaking autistic people, who were left out of MUSIC, despite being the subject of the movie. This month, CommunicationFIRST decided to move forward to produce a self-funded short by and with real nonspeaking autistic people. The film LISTEN is the result. "Si vous nous laissez toujours de côté, les gens pensent que nous ne sommes pas capables de participer. C'est pourquoi la plupart des gens ne se rendent pas compte que nous avons une contribution à apporter. Incluez-nous et vous verrez que nous avons tant à donner".
