In Memoriam - John Rae
On Friday April 8th, 2022, our community unexpectedly lost a fierce champion for disability rights. John Rae was a dedicated advocate of disability and human rights for more than three decades, working with many coalitions, networks, and governments to improve accessibility and independence for the Blind and the broader disability community.
A true ‘policy wonk’, John was a witty storyteller who regularly gave policy advice to government– whether invited or not. We are honoured to have worked with John and he will be deeply missed.
Rest in Peace and Power, John Rae.
