Emma Willey was Ready for My Shot's very first self-advocate in 2021.

This was back when we were lobbying for people with disabilities to be prioritized for their COVID shots.

Emma stepped right up and submitted an awesome selfie to support the campaign. /1 We are gutted to share that Emma passed away on March 21, 2023.

We wrote a story about Emma's experience modelling for the Ready for My Shot poster here.

If you’ve been following #ReadyForMyShot from the beginning you may recall that we submitted a complaint to the BC Human Rights Tribunal on March 21, 2021.

A year later we have news to share. Settle in, it is going to be a long one. /1 Our complaint was that the government prioritized service industry workers at BC ski hills over individuals with Down syndrome (Ds).

People with Ds had been proven to be high-risk for bad COVID outcomes, but were not prioritized for shots. This is discrimination./2

We ARE experts on parenting a young man with Ds.

As citizens, we can read publicly posted government policy and interpret it as, well, citizens might do...
