About

This badge was designed and used for the Disabled People’s Direct Action Network (DAN) ‘Free Our People’ campaign, which was launched in 1999. The campaign highlighted the fact that many disabled people were still forced to live in residential homes because of a lack of accessible housing, personal assistance and other support.
