If you are disabled and are reading this: We see you. We affirm you. We love you. The world would be boring as heck without people like you in it. This episode of Reading Freely is all about Disability Pride Month and celebrating the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) anniversary, signed into law in 1990.

Listen as ACLU of Maryland staffer, Nicole McCann, takes us through why we must center disability accessibility and inclusion in everything we do. And provides great resources for anyone looking to strengthen their understanding of disability accessibility.

In June, ACLU of Maryland staff members attended Pride events throughout the state – from Charles County, Annapolis, and Baltimore. Pride, no matter where it is, continues to grow each year. Our staff members came out of these events with different reflections about LGBTQ+ Pride.

In this episode, hear some of the unique and inspiring quotes from some of them and remember that Pride is about acceptance, acknowledgement, belonging and respecting people’s lives so that their humanity is valued.
