This July, DREDF and a coalition of racial justice and disability rights & justice organizations are hosting a powerful, community-centered rally to celebrate Disability Pride and mark the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
This anniversary comes at a pivotal time. As so many of the rights, resources, and the very humanity of our diverse communities face intensifying threats, we are committed to using this milestone as a platform to honor the legacy of the radical movements, including those that gave birth to the ADA, and to use those lessons to organize for the future.
Grounded in the brilliant spirit of the Bay Area’s disability-led movements, this event will serve as a call to action, honoring our past while forging the next chapter of intersectional disability rights, justice, and liberation.
The program will include diverse speakers and performers, community workshops that build important 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. Disability Rights California (DRC) will also be hosting an open house as they make their exciting move into the Ed Roberts Campus!
