#DisabledPeopleAgainstCuts #Exeter protest against cuts to disability benefit and personal independence payments today.
I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the crowd's reaction. I've been to a fair number of protests which are usually met with indifference or hostility by passersby, here people seemed to be nodding or even stopping to agree. I don't think benefit cuts are as popular with the electorate as Labour seem to think they are.
Protest tomorrow (22nd March) against disability benefit cuts, organised by Disabled People Against Cuts #Exeter https://www.instagram.com/dpac_exeter/
2-4 PM, Bedford Square, masks required.
Please note I am not the organiser, just planning on attending, and have no further information.

![A black and white photograph depicting rural life, specifically focusing on an African American woman. She is seen sitting in a small cart or wagon parked beside tents draped with tarps, indicating temporary accommodation possibly during migration or displacement of laborers.
The setting appears to be dusty with scattered debris around the area, suggesting it might have been taken under adverse weather conditions where dust storms were frequent. The trees and sparse vegetation suggest an arid climate which is consistent with rural areas in regions like California's agricultural belt.
In this scene, there are also a few objects such as barrels possibly used for storage or transportation of goods during migrations typical to the era when black-and-white photography was prevalent.
The woman is dressed modestly; she wears long sleeves and skirt indicative of practicality. The photograph exudes an air of hardship but resilience often seen in depictions from historical photographs documenting social conditions during significant events like the Great Depression, where many African Americans were part of migratory labor forces moving across states to find work.
The image captures a moment frozen in time that serves as both visual testimony and artistic expression about life at the periphery of society's mainstream. It is poignant yet devoid of any explicit narrative or captions offering context for this particular instance [...]](https://mastodon.ozioso.online/system/media_attachments/files/114/094/057/166/221/690/original/db5cdeca4c537535.jpeg "A black and white photograph depicting rural life, specifically focusing on an African American woman.

One of the #Exeter haul. I am not ashamed to say I only came across this because of Russian Doll a few years back, but I’ve ‘enjoyed’ finding out about Nilsson, his fairly tragic story and his music. It’s a great album.
