Disability Pride Month at The Center on Colfax

Disability Pride Month at The Center on Colfax
July is Disability Pride Month, to celebrate the lives, identities, & cultures of people with disabilities. 2024 marks 34 years since the Americans with Disabilities Act passed in July 1990. In that time an untold amount of dedicated work has gone to the improvement of accessibility in public spaces, employment, and more. While there is still so much to be done, we want to take this opportunity to recognize the evolving and diverse needs of the community.

Last year, we had 34 community members attend, 5 organizations in our resource fair, speed-friending, & a presentation/performance by Allie Soreass and Marionette Clown Toy. This year's Disability Pride Celebration will host an expanded resource fair that features organizations ranging from arts engagement to service providers, speed-friending, a community art installment, & multiple interactive presentations. A full list of resource organizations & presentation topics will be updated on The Center’s Website as the event draws closer. There will be two dedicated quiet spaces. Food & drinks, with as many dietary considerations as possible, will be provided along with iced coffee from DIRT Coffee. Register on the website in advance to note any specific accommodations you may need, we cannot guarantee everything but we cannot plan for what we do not know. Please contact bmehay@lgbtqcolorado.org with any questions!
When: Saturday, July 27th; 11am-3pm; Where: The Center on Colfax
