Disability Pride Month
Disability Pride Month celebrates people with disabilities, focusing on their abilities first as well as embracing their disabilities, acknowledging the ongoing ableism so many of them still encounter.
This month, we want to come together as a community to amplify and uplift each other’s voices and to be heard. Disability pride has been described as “accepting and honoring each person’s uniqueness and seeing it as a natural and beautiful part of human diversity.”
