They can be architecturally unnecessary, and prevent those with disabilities from participating fully in campus life. The University of Washington continues to build new buildings with unnecessary stairs. If you think UW should take action to remove unnecessary stairs, and STOP building new buildings with unnecessary stairs, take part in our campaign: F* Stairs HOW YOU CAN HELP: 1.) (If you feel comfortable) Change your profile picture and/or cover photo to the logo, F* Stairs. It is important that people show their public support for the issue. 2.) Take our pledge not to use outdoor stairs for ONE MONTH, starting on 4/20. We ask that you opt to use indoor stairs, so we can conserve the use of elevators in buildings for those who need to use them. If you find that you cannot avoid using stairs, you will need to take note of every time you did not follow the rules. When you take the pledge, share this event and copy and paste the following to the post and urge your friends to do the same: F* STAIRS PLEDGE: "I (name), recognize that architecturally unnecessary stairs actively exclude wheelchair users and other people with disabilities from participating in our community. I am calling on the University of Washington to develop a plan to remove unnecessary stairs from their campus so that ALL members of our community can participate in campus life. For one month, starting on 4/20, I will be refusing to use outdoor stairs, in solidarity with students and community members with disabilities. IF I am unable to fulfill this requirement, I will make a note of it and report how many times I fail on my commitment not to use the stairs. I recognize that many students with disabilities do not have this same privilege and this is why we need more universally designed spaces. We need inclusion. We need disability justice. F* Stairs #FStairs #DisabilityJusticeNow #DMonth2018" 3.) Post on social media at the end of every week, with how many times you used stairs in order to live as you have been. Write about your experience on our FB Event page once the event concludes. Let us know how many times you had to use stairs. And let us what you thought! https://www.facebook.com/events/1689365874476868/ •	21
