Disability Pride Month is celebrated every July and is an opportunity to honor the history, achievements, experiences, and struggles of the disability community.

It’s celebrated in July because the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed by President George H.W. Bush on July 26, 1990. It was a landmark law that prohibited discrimination against people with disabilities. In that same year, Boston held the first Disability Pride Day and Chicago hosted the first Disability Pride Parade in 2024.

Learn more about the disability resources and services available through Milwaukee County. Disabilities (milwaukee.gov)
