I just found out about this event from Glenda and have copied the info below. Yes, I will be writing. I know... what a shocker. I hope some of you join as well. Here, copied from a previous post, is my definition of what a blogswarm is:
A blogswarm is like a blog carnival on a larger scale, where as many as hundreds of bloggers (as opposed to 10s like in a carnival) commit to blogging on a certain topic on a certain day, usually in hopes of gaining mainstream media attention or just greater awareness and understanding of an important topics. Here is the Anti-telethon Blogswarm (Kara, please update one of your blogs), DUH City & of course the ever popular BADD 2009.
Hello Friend,I just wanted to take a second and let you know about an upcoming BloggersUnite event, People First: Empowering People with Disabilities. It is taking place on July 24, 2010 and the goal of this event is to raise awareness about the challenges that face people with disabilities every day and how we can help eliminate these challenges.
By sharing stories of how you, a friend, a colleague, or maybe a family member have dealt with the challenges of living with a disability, we can raise awareness about this issue and bring down some of the barriers to equal accessibility and participation that exist today for people with disabilities.If you don’t have a personal story to share, you can still help! Write about an organization that provides support to people with disabilities or that is helping to provide equal access. Let you readers know some facts about the number of people living with disabilities, the challenges they face, and how each of us can work towards creating a society that provides equal access to everyone regardless of our physical or mental abilities.Whatever you choose to write about, we’d be thrilled to have you write a post as part of this event. Read more information about the event.Thanks for reading and have a great day,Jason Teitelman
