MEMORANDUM

Posted: June 16, 2022 09:20 AM
From: Senator Christine M. Tartaglione
To: All Senate members
Subject: Disability Pride Week
 
In the near future, I plan to introduce a resolution recognizing June 6 through June 11, 2022, as Disability Pride Week in Pennsylvania. This week is designed to change the way people think about and define “disability.”

Disability pride is about accepting and honoring each person's uniqueness and seeing it as a natural and beautiful part of human diversity. It rejects the notion that certain physical, mental, or cognitive differences are negative or wrong and promotes acceptance, dignity and pride.

This year, Disability Pride included a recognition of the 23rd anniversary of the passing of the Olmstead Act, an important component of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and a celebration of the 10 year anniversary of Disability Pride Philadelphia.

Please join me in co-sponsoring this important resolution and help all residents of the Commonwealth understand and celebrate the uniqueness and pride in all of us, despite our abilities.


Introduced as SR318
