LGBTI people with disability will raise awareness for accessible public transport at the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras pride parade on 2 March. Five Australian disability organizations have organized the Fearless Express float. It will highlight the barriers LGBTI people with disability face in day to day life, according to the Star Observer. Led by poet and artist Georgia Cranko, it will also raise awareness of the right to inclusion and sexual expression for people with disability. Cerebral Palsy Alliance, National Disability Insurance Agency, Women with Disability Australia, Northcott, and People with Disability Australia (PWDA) organized the float.
