2024 AAPD ADA Celebration

This event will also be live streamed to provide a virtual attendance option

Join AAPD next Thursday, July 25th for our annual ADA Celebration to recognize the 34th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), where we will  connect with community, celebrate disability advocacy and culture, and create disabled joy. This event does sell out, so be sure to RSVP and get your ticket today to join us in-person or virtually! Virtual tickets are free, and in-person tickets are $25. If the cost of a ticket is a barrier to entry for you, please email our team at development@aapd.com to inquire about a free ticket.

The highlight of this year’s ADA anniversary celebration will be a panel centering the stories of disabled advocates of color who participated in the Capitol Crawl and who have continued to fight to advance disability rights and justice since the passage of the ADA.

To keep our community safe, proof of a negative COVID test is required for entry to this event, and masks will be required except for when eating or drinking. If obtaining a test is a barrier for you, we will also have tests available on-site. If you are attending virtually, the streaming links with ASL, audio description, and captioning will be available closer to the event date.

Join us in-person or virtually on July 25, 2024 from 5:30-7:30 ET:
