Disability is a part of the social justice movement as we speak of access, equity, participation, and human rights. We recognize disability as a part of the human experience. There are over one billion people with a disability in the world and in the United States 61 million people are living with a disability. This means 1 out 4 US adults are living with a disability. The United Nation Convention of Rights of People with Disabilities (CRPD) International treaty and the American Disability Act of 1990 recognize the rights of disabled people in terms of the principles of social justice.Disability Pride Pennsylvania is a disabled led 501c3 nonprofit organization. Our mission is to celebrate the pride that the disability community feels. It's a place for us to come together to celebrate the disability experience. What makes our programming different from others is that we plan accessible community events to bring disabled and non-disabled people together. Come out for the fun and pick up some great resources along the way! We believe that bringing people together in fun ways builds stronger communities; these communities have better conversations. Our programs provide spaces for advocacy, celebration, and some good trouble! We're creating a growing momentum that is being recognized, promoted, and sought out by other organizations to understand disability inclusion.
