Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim July 2025, as Disability Pride Month in the State of New York

AI Summary

This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim July 2025 as Disability Pride Month in New York State, recognizing the significance of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) passed in July 1990. The resolution highlights the ongoing struggle for disability rights, noting that approximately 1 in 5 New Yorkers has a disability and that people with disabilities continue to face discrimination in employment, education, and healthcare. It honors the heroic activism of disability rights organizers, such as the Capital Crawl protest, and seeks to amplify diverse stories of New Yorkers with disabilities, including those with physical, mental, invisible, undiagnosed, or sensory disabilities. The resolution aims to raise public awareness about the historical activism of people with disabilities, emphasize their contributions to society, and demonstrate a commitment to creating better accessibility across public and virtual spaces. Ultimately, the resolution calls on the Governor to officially recognize Disability Pride Month as a way to continue educating the public and promoting equity for all individuals with disabilities.
