July Is Disability Pride Month
July is Disability Pride Month and July was chosen because the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed on July 26, 1990. The ADA prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities, including in employment, transportation, public accommodations, communications, and in relation to access to state and local government services.
The following collection of resources and articles highlight the creativity and advocacy of people living with disabilities. We encourage you to READ, LEARN, and GROW.
