Click on links*** below to access the resources or locations of activities and content related to Disability Pride Month. This month (July), St. Vrain Habitat is focused on learning and supporting our friends within the greater community of disabled persons or those who face chronic illnesses. Personal experiences widely vary. At Habitat, we want to celebrate visibility, accomplishments, and diversity within the disabled community and accept and honor each person’s uniqueness.
AmeriDisability defines Disability Pride as "accepting and honoring each person's uniqueness and seeing it as a natural and beautiful part of human diversity" and to draw awareness to the larger movement for disability justice.
