About Us
The Committee on Disability Power & Pride mobilizes all Americans with disabilities, and our families, friends and allies, to speak with one powerful voice. Power & Pride changes public perceptions of disability by promoting leadership, fostering dialogue and unity, and empowering individuals to become active citizens.
Our Logo
The “&” (ampersand) symbolizes our shared identity. Disability is a natural part of life, yet only one part. We have disabilities, & our friends & family have disabilities. We are architects, athletes, entertainers, businesspeople, politicians, artists, engineers, citizens, neighbors, friends, & we – or our loved ones – have disabilities. We are people with disabilities. We are people with Power & Pride.

Our History
Disability community leaders founded Power & Pride in 2009 as a natural outgrowth of two first-of-their kind events that heralded a rising political force. The January 2009 Power & Pride Inaugural Ball attracted nearly a thousand guests from across the country, while an October 2008 presidential campaign fundraising event drew contributions from more than 40 states.
The Committee on Disability Power & Pride is a non-profit corporation organized under the laws of the District of Columbia. Contributions to the Committee on Disability Power & Pride are not tax deductible as charitable contributions.
