Our Love Letter to the TV & Film Industry

Image

This Valentine's Day, we have joined forces with organisations around the world to send out a love letter to the TV and film industry promoting petitions calling for better representation on TV and film. 

Organisations in the USA, Canada, Australia, Chile, Peru, Columbia, Ghana, India, Israel and Finland have all set up petitions which link to our No Diversity Without Disfluency petition, calling on the media to include those who stammer.

*Update: Read how the day went in our Campaigns section.

1 MILLION SIGNATURES

We hope to collectively reach a million signatures on these petitions by 22nd October. Help us get there. Now it isn't just us in the UK pushing this message, it's people and organisations around the world too.

THE LETTER

The letter starts: "We love you. We love how your films and shows make us laugh, cry, and how they have the power to educate and inspire. But we don't see us on screen, people who stammer…". Read our love letter in full at the bottom of the page.

This is an extension of our No Diversity Without Disfluency campaign, launched on October 22nd 2021, International Stammering Awareness Day. 

Join us in urging broadcasters like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple TV and the BBC to include people who stammer in front of and behind the camera. So that stammering is normalised and fluent speakers learn how to respond.
