This year’s theme is Disability Culture: Loud, Proud, Unstoppable. We’re putting the “lit” in disability by honoring the resilience, pride, collaboration, and ingenuity of our community in the face of daily challenges. We invite you to join us in honoring who we are, what we’ve built, and where we’re going.
