Disability Pride Month is a time to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments, talents, and contributions of people with disabilities. It's also a critical call to action for raising awareness about the discrimination and challenges that still affect this diverse community. Historically, the month commemorates the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in July 1990, a landmark law that prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities. Inadvertently, there are still many areas where accessibility needs improvement.
Here at Main Stay, we are committed to creating an environment where everyone feels valued and respected, recognizing the unique abilities each individual brings and the beauty that emerges when those abilities shine.
We encourage everyone to join us in celebrating Disability Pride Month. By working together, we can help ensure that every individual in our community is given the opportunity to thrive and the support to reach their highest potential. Learn more about Disability Pride Month through the link below:
