Who
We Are
The Disability Pride Parade was the brainchild of Disability Rights Activist Sarah Triano, who was a recipient of the 2002 Paul G. Hearne/AAPD Leadership Award established to honor upcoming leaders in the disability rights movement. Sarah used her cash award as seed money toward the Inaugural Disability Pride Parade, which was held in Chicago in 2004. The parade planning committee hoped to have at least 500 participants. The parade attracted more than 1,500 people with disabilities, their families, friend and allies. And it became clear that the parade was going to be an annual event.
This year, a group of grass-roots disability activists and their allies from various organizations and affiliations continue the celebration of disability pride into its third year.
