In these uncertain times, one thing that remains steady is community — let’s find joy in coming together and recharge for whatever is next! Our gala is just one week away, and we’re excited to share it with you and disability community members and allies from across the country and around the world.

Join us for a special virtual edition of our annual celebration and fundraising event from Thursday, November 12 through Sunday, November 15th. 

Our speakers and awardees include:

Master of Ceremonies: Nicole Cliffe
Harriet McBryde Johnson Award for Nonfiction: Hannah Gadsby
Ally of the Year Award: Michelle Bishop

Awards for Service to the Self-Advocacy Movement: Max Barrows, Teighlor McGee
