Celebrate July Disability Pride Month

Celebrate in July. March in October.

Because Love Unites—and We’re All in This Together.

When we show up with pride, organize with power, and demand our rights, we build something bigger than any one moment.

This is what Disability Pride looks like: connection, celebration, justice, and community.

Pride isn’t a moment—it’s a movement.

Banners will be displayed throughout the city both physically and digitally with accessibility features.
