Our group had an incredible time marching at this year’s Disability Pride Parade! We gathered at Madison Square, where everyone came together to make colorful posters. As we marched down Broadway, the energy was amazing and it was inspiring to see everyone coming together to celebrate! Below are pictures from the event.
Our members were also interviewed by a reporter from AFP during this event!
