Disability Pride Month

July is Disability Pride Month!

It’s a time to celebrate the identities, cultures, advocacy, and contributions of people with disabilities.

Many people with disabilities still face barriers to being fully included and valued. Ableism is often ignored, but its effects are real. It limits access to education, jobs, healthcare, and respect.

Disability Pride Month challenges that. At its core, Disability Pride is about being accepted on our own terms. It means disability isn’t something to hide or fix. It’s part of who we are. Everyone deserves inclusion, rights, and respect, without having to earn them.
