Excitement is growing for the 10th Annual Disability Pride Parade in downtown Chicago. Activities begin at 9am and the parade starts at 11. There will be booths, entertainment and presentations. Lake County-ers who want to attend the Parade can take the bus sponsored by the Lake County Center for Independent Living. The bus leaves the LCCIL office at 8 and will return about 3. To reserve your spot contact Matt at 847-949-4440, ext. 215, email: matt@lccil.org
Are you wondering about the parade itself? According to the event website:
The overall mission of the Disability Pride Parade is:
- To change the way people think about and define “disability”;
- To break down and end the internalized shame among people with Disabilities; and
- To promote the belief in society that Disability is a natural and beautiful part of human diversity in which people living with Disabilities can take pride.
