Happy Disability Pride Month!✨ We are still celebrating by reading powerful pieces like: Being Heumann: An Unrepentant Memoir of a Disability Rights Activist by Judith Heumann and Kristen Joiner.

“Change never happens at the pace we think it should. It happens over years of people joining together, strategizing, sharing, and pulling all the levers they possibly can. Gradually, excruciatingly slowly, things start to happen, and then suddenly, seemingly out of the blue, something will tip.” -Judith Huemann Today, Judith reminds us that change takes time, takes strategy, and takes community. With interdependence as one of our core values, we are so grateful for the tenacity and bravery of our disabled ancestors who built the framework and infrastructure for our movement.
