It’s been a pretty incredible month.

Send a note of congratulations to Disability Pride NYC and the Mayor’s Office for People with Disabilities on the historic First Annual Disability Pride Parade which took place on Sunday, July 12th, in NYC. What a great moment, and great fun. The Chinatown Partnership and Art Beyond Sight proudly joined other partners in and advocates for the disability access and inclusion community in celebrating this day of music, dance, speakers, education, and camaraderie.
