Event details
Join us to celebrate and protect the upcoming anniversary of the passing of the American with Disabilities Act – a victory fought and won by people with disabilities and their allies and that is under attack right now. The ADA 35th Anniversary / Disability Pride Event & Rally happening on Friday, July 11th, from 3:00 – 7:00 p.m., on Woolsey Street outside of the Ed Roberts Campus. Our coalition of racial justice and disability rights & justice organizations are hosting a protest-meets-celebration event that centers cross-movement solidarity, political power, and disability joy and resistance.
On July 11th, we will uplift some of the radical strategies from the movement to pass the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as well as the strategies from other parallel and intersecting movements for justice and liberation of that time, and use some of these lessons to sharpen our own tools for our current fight ahead.
The rally will feature incredible speakers and performers and the event will include community workshops that build critical skills and knowledge for this moment, food and music, an art build and unveiling of our community story quilt project, a kids area, and more.
