Join us in this celebratory month as we recognize people of color for their achievements throughout history and their important role in shaping the United States.
Following the death of George Floyd in 2020, we felt the desire to share the following statement on what our organizational stance is, and always will be, for all people.
As disAbility Connections reflects on the current social climate, we remember that the Independent Living Movement owes much to the civil rights movement. Persons with disabilities took inspiration from the brave individuals of the civil rights movement who fought for their rights in society and recognized in themselves the strength to work for equal treatment.
disAbility Connections affirms it will continue to serve the community as an organization striving to advance the independence, productivity and full inclusion of all who live with disabilities. disAbility Connections will never treat someone poorly because of who they are and will continue to work for justice for all.
