This July, History is Being Made
Right now, around the world, our communities are under siege. Anti-LGBTQ+ laws spread like wildfire. Healthcare becomes more inaccessible each day. Disabled voices are systematically silenced. Gender-based violence escalates. Our people are forced into exile.
But here's what they don't expect: We're not just surviving. We're thriving.
Every July, Disability Pride Month reminds the world of an undeniable truth—disabled people are brilliant, resilient, and powerful. This year, we're not just celebrating. We're reclaiming our narrative.
From July 1-31, 2025, join the most inclusive, intersectional disability justice campaign ever launched.
🌟 Why This Campaign Will Change Everything
Because our truth is this: Disabled people are not a monolith. We are queer, trans, intersex, neurodivergent, chronically ill, migrants, Black, Brown, Indigenous, poor—and we are powerful.
Because mainstream Pride often erases us. Disability spaces often ignore queerness, gender justice, and racial equity.
Because true justice means centering those who are most excluded.
This isn't just another awareness campaign. This is a movement that refuses to ask anyone to leave parts of themselves behind.
