Yesterday marked the 36th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)—a landmark civil rights law that affirmed the rights of people with disabilities and created a stronger foundation for accessibility, opportunity, and equal participation in our communities.

As we reflect on how far we have come, we are also reminded that the work continues. The ADA was a significant step forward, but ensuring true access and equity requires ongoing commitment, advocacy, and action from all of us.

At Unity Forward Oklahoma, we were honored to join self-advocates, community leaders, organizations, and advocates from across our community in recognizing this important milestone and continuing conversations around accessibility and belonging.

We were grateful to participate in the inaugural ADA Solidarity Walk & Roll, a community gathering focused on connection, celebration, and advocacy. Events like this remind us that creating a world designed for everyone requires all of us—listening to lived experiences, building partnerships, and working together to remove barriers that impact people with disabilities.

Thank you to everyone who came together to celebrate 36 years of progress, recognize the importance of the ADA, and continue the work ahead. We are grateful to stand alongside so many dedicated community members who are committed to building a more accessible and connected Oklahoma.

The work continues. Together, we keep moving forward toward a world where everyone has the opportunity to participate, contribute, and belong. đź’™
