Thank you so much everyone for all of your hard work, patience, and love creating an incredible and successful Disability Rights March/Rally! This could not have been possible without all of you! It’s time to celebrate, and then soon we’ll get back to work on planning the next one ❤️☺️ Congratulations, team!

Hey everyone;

We’re super excited for our rally tomorrow! Unfortunately we were not able to get an ASL interpreter. We are deeply sorry to anyone that this will leave out of enjoying the speeches and performance. We want to be inclusive but we dropped the ball on this. We tried contacting several organizations but we weren’t able to secure an interpreter for the date we needed. Through this process we learned how difficult it can be to get someone so we know for next time to plan ahead. Can’t wait to see y’all!

Just so everyone is in the loop: the route is 0.4 miles long. We’re meeting in the parking lot of the train station so there should be parking there. We will have a section in the back of the procession for those that need to distance and wear masks, masks for all are highly encouraged but not required. We will have masks for those that need them. Let me know if you have any other questions. Can’t wait to see y’all!

Call to volunteers! We need people willing to set up, carry water, and help out. And even though this is 100% a peaceful event, we would like medics and legal observers on hand as well. If you would like to volunteer as any of those things, please email us with the subject ‘VOLUNTEER.’

If you are a person that is living with a disability and would like a chance to speak at the rally, or have your story told, or would like to help us organize the event, please email us using the subject ‘COMMUNITY.’

Rally is scheduled for April 23rd at noon, but volunteers will most likely need to come earlier in the day.
