Did you know? July is Disability Pride Month. While this is not recognized as a national holiday, July marks the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) legislation that opened the door to a more inclusive society. For some, Disability Pride Month is recognizing your disability and loving who you are for it; others celebrate the wins in learning to navigate their disability; or some show their support by just listening and elevating disabled voices. Take time this month to reflect, celebrate, and continue to uplift and include those with disabilities at work and in your community. #ADA #DisabilityPrideMonth #HRConsulting #DiversityAndInclusion

July 26th is National Disability Independence Day, which celebrates the 1990 signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)! The bill enacted sweeping legislation prohibiting discrimination against individuals with disabilities and guaranteeing their civil rights to access transportation, employment, education, and other services. #ThanksToTheADA We believe full inclusion and participation in community life are attainable for everyone! Through our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts, DP works to create spaces for marginalized communities to have their voices heard. We strive to ensure that equity is not just a word but an action allowing everyone to feel and know they truly belong. You can learn more about the ADA and its impact here: https://acl.gov/ada.
