Love Unites. Pride Ignites. Together, We Rise for Disability Rights
❤️ Without You, There Is No Us
Project Access for All is powered by community. Thank you to the volunteers, artists, cultural leaders, and City partners making this July unforgettable. Together, we celebrate our rights, culture, and future.
Milestone Moments
🗽 10 Years of Disability Pride Month in NYC
💜 35 Years of the Americans with Disabilities Act
💜 40 Years of National Disability in Entertainment Week
💙 400 Years of NYC History
🗓️ Unite, celebrate, and organize all July long.
Keep the momentum going through October’s Disability Pride NYC Parade.
Because Love Unites—and We’re All in This Together.
Pride isn’t a moment—it’s a movement. When we show up with pride, organize with power, and demand our rights, we build something bigger than any one moment.
This is what Disability Pride looks like: connection, celebration, justice, and community.
