The European Parliament (Picture: © European Union, 2018)
The elections to the European Parliament will happen in May 2019.
These elections are very important for people with intellectual disabilities
and their families.
The elections will decide about
- who will speak for them in the next European Parliament
- if there will be progress on their rights during the next years.
Inclusion Europe has prepared a manifesto
on how to make the most of the European elections in 2019.
The first two parts are for people who support the inclusion movement:
self-advocates, family members and all other activists and European Union citizens.
Self-advocate Mathilde Cotman voted at the Belgian municipal elections. She will vote again in 2019!
