Disability und Mad Pride

In the organizer's words:

This year we're doing another Disability and Mad Pride in Bonn.
It's all a bit different this year.
We are now writing what we already know:

1 p.m. info stands Frankenbadplatz
Frankenbadplatz is in Bonn's old town.
Alliance partners are welcome to set up stands here.
Last year, for example, there were
- Fridays for Future Bonn
- PAQT Cologne
- the queer Pride Bonn
- Anonyme Krankenschein Bonn and the Health Collective.

14:30 Rally: We give ourselves space.
From 14:30, disabled people will give speeches.
They talk about what is important to them.
The rally is also at Frankenbadplatz.

Do what makes you feel good.
For example, you can

• leave earlier or come later
• take a break in between
• eat and drink something
• go to the toilet
  We have water and food with us.
  We also take care of which toilets you can go to nearby.

We would like
that the rally is barrier-free.
Barrier-free means: everyone can be there.
We know that
There is no such thing as complete accessibility.
But we are doing the best we can.

We are now saying what we are doing to make it barrier-free.
There are interpreters,
who translate from German spoken language into sign language.
They also translate from sign language into spoken language.
Many T/Deaf people speak in sign language.
They speak with their hands, face and upper body.
There is a kind of written interpretation.
You can read along what is being said.
This helps people who can 't hear well.
And also some people who can 't concentrate well.
We translate everything into plain language.
We make all announcements in plain language only.
All speeches are also available in plain language.

There are bicycle rickshaws and chairs.
A person drives the rickshaw like a bicycle.
People can sit there,
who cannot sit well on the ground.
The rickshaws are from cyclists without age.
Even the people who drive the rickshaws
are cyclists without age.
That's really great.

We want everyone at our demonstration to be safe.
They should not experience discrimination.
If they do experience discrimination,
we don't want to leave them alone with it.
We have an awareness team.
We have an awareness concept.
If you are not feeling well, you can go to the awareness team.
All people who can see can recognize the awareness team by the yellow warning vests.
The awareness team will also help you
if you experience discrimination.

There is an area where everyone has to wear masks.
This is important for people who get sick particularly quickly.
And who then become particularly ill.

More information will be coming soon.
