Please support our ICA petition for a disability interest group

[victor zhuang]

Dear friends at AANZCA  

If you are a current ICA member, would you please consider signing the petition for a disability communication and media interest group. It will require you to login to your ICA account - sign the petition at tinyurl.com/icadisability 

An international group of disability comms and media scholars (including folks like Gerard Goggin, Katie Ellis, Jenny Kennedy, Ashleigh Haw from AANZCA) have been organizing towards this for the past 3 years. Hopefully we will be able to put up a application this november! 

If you have already signed it, grateful for your support. If you could, please also consider sending this email along to your friends who you know are ICA members (i also have a linkedin post here that you could share)
