Today is - a global movement grounded in shared humanity and radical generosity. As Giving Tuesday reminds us, “every act of generosity counts, and everyone has something to give.” We’re inviting our community to take generous action by reassessing your spaces - workplaces, storefronts, faith communities, parks, etc. - so that people with disabilities are Known, Valued, and Included.

We can never truly repay the debt we owe our veterans. But we can certainly remember, honor, and thank them. Thank you to those who served in commitment to our freedom.
