Disability Pride Month


In celebration of the landmark signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on July 26, 1990, July is Disability Pride Month.

Disability Pride month is a time to promote awareness, acceptance and inclusion for the disability community. This issue is dedicated to celebrating the history, culture and contributions that Bruins with disabilities have provided to UCLA and the world.
