We celebrate Disability Pride in the same way that we celebrate Pride in June — to be visible and to advocate and educate. We celebrate that while the ADA (American Disability Act) is not perfect, it makes discriminating against disabled people illegal.
We do not celebrate the fact the we are disabled or have a chronic illness. We celebrate that we matter and have inherent worth and value, no matter what our abilities or disabilities are.
Consider spreading awareness this July or donating to a charity that helps those with disabilities.
