“NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US!” Is a disability justice anthem!
We honor Disability Pride!🌈 During July, Disability Pride month, we celebrate the work of thousands who organized for decades to create the Americans with Disabilities Act. It recognizes the foundation laid by the civil rights movement to empower disabled advocates. It is infused with the joy and resilience of QUEER/LGBTQ+ PRIDE legacy’s.
Not only was the ADA modeled on Civil Rights Act of 1964, but the spirit of the civil rights movement inspired disabled advocate protests such as the Capital Crawl of 1990. More than 1,000 people with physical disabilities discarded their assistive devices to crawl up the steps of the U.S. Capitol and urge lawmakers to pass the ADA.
