Description
Sticker with bright pink background and black lettering that reads 'Rights Not Roses'. It was made by DAN (Disabled People's Direct Action Network) to go alongside their Rights not Roses protest at Leeds Station, March 1994
The 'Rights Not Roses' protest was in response to the opening of a garden at Leeds Station DAN were protesting against the use of £40,000 funding to create this garden, while numerous platforms at the station were still inaccessible to disabled people, disabled passengers had to use the goods lift, and often had to travel in the guards vans of trains. Members of DAN disrupted the opening of the garden, and handcuffed themselves to a scheduled train due to depart Leeds for London.
