July is Disability Pride Month, and the American Bar Association (ABA) is celebrating the "immense resilience, creativity and contributions of individuals with disabilities” and bringing awareness to its Commission on Disability Rights, which focuses on enhancing opportunities for lawyers with disabilities and advocating for disability-related public policy and laws. The group notes in a statement that this month marks 34 years since enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which fundamentally redefined accessibility and inclusion. The ARC has more on the annual celebration and this year's theme, "We Want a Life Like Yours," which "reflects the disability community’s dreams for life experiences that they are too often denied."
