DISABILITY PRIDE JULY 2024 Disability Pride month is an annual global celebration of disability throughout the month of July. With its origins in commemorating the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990, it celebrates people with disabilities, their identities and beauty, their culture, and their contributions to society. Disabled people make up an estimated 20% of the world's population, and Disability Pride looks to end stigma, raise awareness and promote diversity and inclusion. Many of you will not have heard of Disability Pride, but it is an extremely important date in the DEI calendar. Have you planned anything for this celebration? If not, don't worry - it isn't too late! Here are a few suggestions: - Think about taking those first steps to learning about disability - do some research, book on a course, or book a consultant to support you and your organisations learning - Have conversations - does your organisation have a working group or DEI team? Ask them what their plans are for disability pride - Reflect on your prejudice. What can you do to make your thoughts and actions more inclusive? - In the casting space - reflect on your casting decisions. Have you been including disabled talent in your briefs and casting selections. If not, why not? Can you work with disabled content creators and influencers? - Are your communications inclusive? Have you thought about things like image ID and captions? Can you use Camel Case for your hashtags, like this #DisabilityPride (using capitals for new words means it is easier to read) Image ID: collage of 9 models with a variety of disabilities, genders, ethnicities and ages. The disability pride flag is layered on top with the words DISABILITY PRIDE 2024
