This resolution expresses House support for designating July as "Disability Pride Month" in the United States. The measure notes that approximately 61 million American adults and over 3 million children have disabilities, and highlights that the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law on July 26, 1990, making July a fitting month for this observance. The resolution calls on Americans, interest groups, and affected communities to celebrate Disability Pride Month with appropriate activities and to work actively against discrimination and exclusion of people with disabilities. This is a symbolic resolution with no direct funding or enforcement mechanisms; it simply expresses congressional support for recognizing and celebrating the contributions of people with disabilities while promoting inclusion and non-discrimination efforts.
