Celebrating 34 Years of the ADA: Embracing Innovation and Empowerment Thirty-four years ago, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became a landmark piece of legislation and progress, redefining disability as a source of pride and power. This past Tuesday, 2Gether-International and Making Space hosted a gathering with incredible colleagues, partners, and friends to celebrate this milestone and ignite the next wave of innovation in entrepreneurship. We are profoundly grateful to the DC Department of Small and Local Business Development (DSLBD) for their longstanding support. Their belief in our mission makes events like this possible, helping us create a more inclusive and dynamic future. "Supporting initiatives that foster inclusivity and innovation is at the core of our mission. Since its origins, we are proud to be a longstanding partner of 2GI, a DC-based leading nonprofit. Championing the businesses and potential of Disabled Entrepreneurs builds a more inclusive and dynamic business community for all in DC and beyond” – Rosemary Suggs-Evans, Director of DC Department of Small & Local Business Development (DSLBD). #ADA34 #DisabilityPride #Entrepreneurship #Innovation #2GI #DSLBD

Thirty-four years ago, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law. This landmark legislation was the result of activists, entrepreneurs, and changemakers coming together to redefine disability as a source of pride and power. At 2GI, we are proud of our important work in this space, in helping Disabled Founders achieve their entrepreneurial dreams. #ThanksToTheADA #ADA34 #Business #Entrepreneur #DisabilityInclusion #Inclusion #Diversity #2GI #DisabilityAwareness #DEI #Founders #DisabledFounders #Disability #ThanksToTheADA
