Did you know? July is Disability Pride Month! Globally celebrated, Disability Pride Month is a time for disabled folks to celebrate our achievements individually and as a whole. Here in the US, July 26th is also the 24th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act being passed, so this month also serves as a reminder for how far we've come and how far we still have to go in regards to disability rights. And like Pride month, it's also a time for awareness. #DisabilityPrideMonth (Image description in comments)

Disability Pride started as a day of celebration in 1990, the same year that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed. By 2015, this celebration expanded into an entire month, and since then, Disability Pride Month has been celebrated globally each July. Disability Pride Month can mean different things to each individual. I view it as an opportunity to start conversations and raise awareness among people who are not part of the disabled community on how to be better allies and support inclusivity. CFA Institute remains committed to inclusivity and fairness for all, creating better work environments. As we wrap up Disability Pride Month, let’s continue to work together to foster a more inclusive society. #DisabilityPrideMonth #DEI #DisabilityInclusion

Now is a great time to reflect on your accessibility efforts! This can include accessibility of physical and digital workspaces, events, and of your website and online platforms. How do you support your employees with disabilities? Are they represented in leadership? Do they have access to an ERG or BRG? Disability means different things within the community and cannot have a one size fits all approach. Society revolves around the able-bodied person and barriers are not always physical - they can include stimulation and psychological factors as well. As an individual with invisible disabilities, I do my best to advocate for myself and others both inside and outside of the workplace, while recognizing the privilege of not having appearent or visible disabilities. This means taking the time to design communications, meetings, and programs around the most disadvantages individuals so that when rolled out, it is inclusive with as many people as possible. How does your organization support and advocate for its disabled population? #disabilitypride #invisibledisabilities #Inclusion
July is Disability Pride Month, a time to honor the incredible achievements and experiences of the disability community. It's also a reminder that 1 in 4 U.S. adults live with a disability, and many still face barriers to inclusion. The Arc of the United States has a powerful message this year: "We Want a Life Like Yours." This theme reflects the desire for equal access to opportunities and experiences that many take for granted. The Arc has a great resource with ideas on how to celebrate Disability Pride Month: https://lnkd.in/gGcrBXz3 Let's work together to create a world where everyone has the chance to thrive! #DisabilityPride #InclusionMatters

Local business owners and hiring managers can participate #DisabilityPrideMonth by improving their disability inclusive hiring practices. Guess what, we can help!! All it takes is the willingness to have a conversation with us.
#DisabilityPrideMonth takes place every year in July. This is a time to honor the history, achievements, experiences, and struggles of the disability community. It’s a time to show what disability pride means and what people with disabilities are proud of. Why is this celebration so important? Because it challenges the outdated stereotypes and stigma that too often surround disabilities. Disability Pride Month reminds us that disability is not something to be ashamed of but rather a vital part of our rich human tapestry. By promoting disability pride, we hope to create a world where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued—no matter their abilities. We want to break down barriers, foster understanding, and build a society that embraces and supports every individual, regardless of their differences.
