July 26th is National Disability Independence Day, which celebrates the 1990 signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)! The bill enacted sweeping legislation prohibiting discrimination against individuals with disabilities and guaranteeing their civil rights to access transportation, employment, education, and other services. #ThanksToTheADA We believe full inclusion and participation in community life are attainable for everyone! Through our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts, DP works to create spaces for marginalized communities to have their voices heard. We strive to ensure that equity is not just a word but an action allowing everyone to feel and know they truly belong. You can learn more about the ADA and its impact here: https://acl.gov/ada.

July is Disability Pride Month! If this is your first time hearing about it, you are definitely not alone. Disability Pride Month began in July of 1990 after the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) was passed. This prohibited discrimination against disabled Americans. The purpose of the Pride aspect can be defined like this: “To change the way people think about and define “disability,” to break down and end the internalized shame among people with Disabilities, and to promote the belief in society that Disability is a natural and beautiful part of human diversity in which people living with disabilities can take pride. (Chicago’s Disability Pride Parade, 2013)” There are many ways to support Disability Pride, and one is by sharing the Disability Pride flag, shown below!
