Event Details

AboutThe Disability Pride Party is an event by and for Cleveland's
disability community. It's an opportunity to make new friends, celebrate the
35th anniversary

of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and build awareness of
disability pride. We're coming together to counter the negative narratives
lobbied

against our community with a visible, loud, and joyful display of pride,
diversity, and unity. Sponsoring this event is a chance to show your support
of

Cleveland's large disability community and demonstrate your commitment to
disability inclusion.Details

Cleveland Chapter, President

 

The National Federation of the Blind advances the lives of its members and
all blind people in the United States. We know that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. Our collective power, determination,
and diversity achieve the aspirations of all blind people.
