Disability Pride Month

On Disability Pride July is Disability Pride Month! We celebrate the breadth and depth of the diversity, experiences, and contributions of our disabled community. This is an opportunity to reflect upon our own work and ensure DEM’s policies, practices, and environment are accessible, equitable, and inclusive to disabled community members. When everyone is included, we are all lifted. Check out the links below to learn more and find ways to participate and advocate. Learn More
