Show out for our upcoming ADA 35th Anniversary / Disability Pride Rally happening on Friday, July 11th, from 3:00 - 7:00 p.m., on Adeline Street outside of the Ed Roberts Campus (3075 Adeline Street, Berkeley, CA).
Our coalition of racial justice and disability rights & justice organizations are hosting a protest-meets-celebration event that centers cross-movement solidarity, political power, and disability joy and resistance.
On July 11th, we will uplift some of the radical strategies from the movement to pass the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as well as the strategies from other parallel and intersecting movements for justice and liberation of that time, and use some of these lessons to sharpen our own tools for our current fight ahead.
The rally will feature incredible speakers and performers, community workshops that build critical skills and knowledge for this moment, food and music, an art build and unveiling of our community story quilt project, a kids area, and more. Disability Rights California (DRC) will also be hosting an open house as they make their exciting move into the Ed Roberts Campus!
RSVP for your free ticket and learn more via CIL.
