Community Action Colleagues,
Disability Pride is about changing the way people view disability, erasing the stigma associated with it, and recognizing disability as part of our communities’ diversity. A disability is just one component of an individual’s identity; like any other characteristic, it is part of what makes each person unique and informs their perspectives on and contributions to society. July is Disability Pride Month - a time to highlight and celebrate those differences, applaud the advances that have been made, and focus on opportunities to increase access and equity for people with disabilities.
The National Community Action Partnership celebrates the history, contributions, and pride of the disability community and recognizes the work of Community Action Agencies across the country to support and serve persons living with disabilities in their communities.
