Our Mission
Committee on Disability Power & Pride
Our mission is to serve the disability community by promoting, planning, coordinating, and
publicizing events, projects, resources, and initiatives that strengthen the political power and
showcase the pride of people with disabilities.
We are your parents and your children, your brothers and your sisters.
We are your employees and employers, your students and your teachers,
your neighbors and your friends.
We are your lovers and your leaders.
We are warriors and we are peacemakers.
We advocate. We vote.
We are not the problem. We are problem solvers.
We have strength in numbers – and as individuals, alone.
We are not victims. We will not be pushed aside.
We have changed attitudes.
We have changed laws.
We have changed the world.
Tomorrow, we fight the inequity that remains.
Tonight, we celebrate.
Disability.
The Power and the Pride.
