Celebrate Disability Pride Month in July

July is Disability Pride Month and Federation’s Miami Jewish Abilities Alliance (MJAA) works year-round to celebrate and support Jewish Miamians living with disabilities. Disability Pride Month was observed for the first time in July 2015, the 25th anniversary of the creation of the American Disabilities Act, which protects the rights of people with disabilities and fosters inclusion in society. With changes on the horizon to funding for at-home care options for those with disabilities, it’s more important than ever to stand as allies with our friends and neighbors seeking to live their best lives. Understanding that disability is a natural, meaningful part of the human experience, MJAA advocates and offers helpful resources for those with disabilities and their families.
