Disability Unite July Events – Information & FAQ's
New York Citywide Events
Spanning all five boroughs of NYC, Disability Pride Month gives us the opportunity for our communities to come together in pride and unite in power. The month also spreads awareness and educates allies about disability rights as civil rights – including disability culture and access accommodations. Let’s continue to embody the spirit of the Americans with Disabilities Act and create a NYC that is a global center for disability pride, arts and culture, and inclusive businesses!
