Welcome to the July edition of the Inclusion International newsletter. In this edition you can read about Inclusion International's project on participation of self-advocates in voting and political participation; our efforts in Africa to contribute to the framework for financing the Sustainable Development Goals; our collaboration with University College London to combat negative attitudes towards people with intellectual disabilities and much more. In Focus this month features our Ghanaian member organization (Inclusion Ghana) and in the news hub our members share their stories about work and events in their countries. We hope you will take advantage of one of the various events and conferences in the coming months hosted by our member organizations: The Arc of the United States, The Canadian Association for Community Living, the International Disability Alliance workshop in Brazil or the Inclusion Europe self-advocacy conference in Madrid.
