ABSTRACT
We are disabled mothers based in the United Kingdom (UK), one to a disabled child, the other to a disabled teenager. We are also long-time activists and this chapter has emerged from a series of personal conversations about what our parenting circumstances have meant for our activism. What has been the impact on its form and reach and on our sense of ourselves as activist? What does this mean for our children? What might our experience offer to other disabled parents of disabled children in understanding their own possibilities for activism? And what might our learning mean for the wider disabled people’s movement and for activism beyond?
