The theme for 2025 is
"We Belong Here and We're Here to Stay."
• A powerful reminder that individuals with disabilities are integral members of society, deserving of recognition and respect.
• Promotes the idea that disabled individuals should be celebrated for their contributions and identities.
• A call to action against ableism and discrimination, encouraging communities and organizations to take meaningful steps toward accessibility and equality.
• By embracing this theme, communities are encouraged to foster environments where everyone, regardless of ability, can thrive and contribute meaningfully.
Disability Pride Month is celebrated every July, commemorating the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on July 26, 1990. This year marks the 35th anniversary of the signing of the ADA, the landmark legislation prohibiting discrimination against those with disabilities. Here is a link to an article providing history and context for this important step toward equity.
