D month (disability) activities for April – mostly evenings!
What is D Month? Started a few years ago, D Month is a month-long series of events meant to celebrate and advocate for disability rights, issues, and culture. We have four more D Month events coming up, featuring a wide array of speakers!

All events have CART captioning and ASL interpreting requested, and air purifiers will be provided. For the safety of community members with chemical sensitivity, please arrive scent-free.
It is a lot to take in, so I appreciate your patience. I’m so excited and please feel free to spread the word! If you have any questions or concerns about any of this, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.
Hope to see y’all there!
