Disability Pride Parade this weekend in Chicago
The 14th Annual Disability Pride Parade is this weekend, on Saturday, July 22! The Parade kicks off at 11:00am from 401 S. Plymouth Court (beside the Harold Washington Library Center), and then travels up Dearborn Street to the Daley Center where post-parade festivities take place beginning at 12:30pm. According to the parade website , the overall mission of the Disability Pride Parade is: To change the way people think about and define “disability;” To break down and end the internalized shame among people with Disabilities; and To promote the belief in society that Disability is a natural and beautiful part of human diversity in which people living with Disabilities can take pride. Wouldn't it be great if a group of SNAILS members could meet downtown and cheer for the parade participants??
