[A crowd of lego mini-figures]

Lego is excluding 150 million disabled children by failing to positively represent them in its products

Sign the petition asking lego to make mini-figures with disabilities, remind them that 15 percent of the world population are people with disabilities. We are the world’s largest minority, we are already mainstream in the real world (albeit still invisibilized and excluded) and should be shown in mainstream Lego mini-figures as well.
