To Mark Disability Pride Month and the 33rd Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, The Fairhaven Belonging Committee and M.O. L.I.F.E., Inc. are hosting a DisABILITY Pride Event on July 30th from 11am-2pm at the Fairhaven Council on Aging. In case of rain, we will use the Rec Center next door.
July is an occasion to celebrate people with disabilities, honor their inherent and inalienable rights, promote their visibility, and applaud their achievements. While the passage of the ADA opened doors of opportunity for people with disabilities, more work remains to realize its full promise.
The Fairhaven Belonging Committee and M.O. L.I.F.E., Inc. are using this opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to support the rights of individuals with disabilities.
July is also a powerful reminder about the importance of disability rights and why we fight for them.
DisABILITY Pride is an expression of the art, advocacy, and resilience that are hallmarks of South Coast’s vibrant disability community.
We invite you to this celebration where we will have vendors, resources, a dunk tank, decoration stations for wheelchairs and prosthetics, health and wellness activities, food, and so much more.
