Dear all –

Yesterday was the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Many in the US are celebrating this milestone – which comes amidst multiple reminders of why justice must be for all.

Ford Foundation is among those organizations putting on a series of internal and external events and PR to celebrate.

See more below.

Best,

Diana

[Image removed by sender. Bold green and white capital letters spell out “Disability Demands Justice”]<https://fordfoundation.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3f89269c6132144b6f1c5ce78&id=478b31d71a&e=8fe46b51c2>

It’s time to expand our definition of justice. Around the world, there are one billion people with disabilities who experience inequality in all its forms. To build a world where everyone is equal, we need to recognize how disability interconnects with the issues of social justice and follow the lead of the individuals at the center of the fight.

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, a federal law that made discrimination of individuals with disabilities illegal and aimed to ensure the places that comprise our lives—from museums to bus stations—belong to everyone.

While a major milestone, the journey to justice is far from over. We need to understand the obstacles still facing the disability community—and recognize that a truly equitable future is a vision we all share.

That’s why I am excited to share “Disability Demands Justice<https://fordfoundation.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3f89269c6132144b6f1c5ce78&id=d9cff0e05c&e=8fe46b51c2>,” a dynamic, ever-evolving hub where a diversity of voices and perspectives can share their experiences, disability activists and social justice organizations can teach one another, and where meaningful partnerships can take shape.

Here’s a glimpse:

No Equality Without Everyone
From COVID-19 to systemic racism, people with disabilities are disproportionately affected by systems of oppression. Only by tackling the intersections of disability will we answer the call to justice, together.

On the Road to Justice
It’s been nearly five years since we began our journey to integrate disability into our work. We’ve learned a lot along the way—and it’s only inspired us to keep forging ahead.
