Dear DRA Family,

We are so grateful to each one of you who took time to participate in DRA’s gala on October 6. And we know some of you missed it, want to watch it again, and/or want to share it. Now you finally can! As promised, below you will find links to experience and share the 2022 gala, with or without audio description.

We’re confident that when more people experience Billy Porter’s poignant message about combatting stigma, our panel’s thoughtful conversation about intersectional social justice, the stories of our bold and persistent clients, and Mandy Harvey’s enchanting performance, more people will join DRA’s team of disability justice warriors. And together we will move closer to a world without discrimination—where people with disabilities can and do participate equally.

Thanks in advance for sharing DRA’s gala, for helping build our community of supporters, and for all that each of you contribute to DRA’s mission.

With gratitude,

Rebecca Williford
Acting President & CEO/Deputy Director of Litigation
