Join the LWVNYS DEI Committee for the
Disability Pride Month
21 Day Challenge
July 14 - August 4
Disability is more than just a medical diagnosis or physical impairment. When we can build a greater awareness of those around us, opening our hearts and minds to becoming more intentionally inclusive of persons with disabilities as well as all others, they become valued members of our organization and of our communities.
The LWVNYS DEI Committee presents the American Bar Association’s 21-Day Disability Equity Habit-Building Challenge© as our most current educational offering! Conducting the Challenge in July serves as a tribute to the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in July of 1990.
Your average time investment is up to, or less than, 20 minutes per day for those 21 days!

You are also invited to attend an online panel discussion to get additional insights from those with personal or professional points of view on the issues faced by people with disabilities.
The panel entitled, "Adding Access to DEI", will be held on Wednesday, July 31st at 7:00pm. Please mark your calendars. You are automatically enrolled as an attendee for the panel when you register for the Challenge.
