Today is National Holocaust Remembrance Day

Today, we pause to remember the millions of lives lost during the Holocaust and to honor the survivors whose experiences continue to teach us about the importance of human dignity, compassion, and remembrance.

Holocaust Remembrance Day is a time to reflect on where exclusion, dehumanization, and silence can lead—and why education, empathy, and respect matter in every generation. Remembering history helps ensure that the lessons learned are not forgotten.

At B&D Services, our mission is rooted in inclusion and respect. We believe every person deserves to live with dignity, belonging, and support within their community. Days like today reinforce the importance of standing against exclusion in all its forms and affirming the value of every human life.

We remember. We reflect. We honor.

Today is International Day of Acceptance!

Acceptance means recognizing and valuing people exactly as they are. For many individuals with disabilities, exclusion isn’t an occasional experience; it can be a daily reality. International Day of Acceptance invites us to reflect on how our attitudes, actions, and communities can become more inclusive.

This observance honors Annie Hopkins, a disability rights advocate and founder of 3E Love, an organization created to educate the world about embracing diversity and disability acceptance. While 3E Love is no longer operating, the message Annie championed and the conversations she helped spark remain just as important today.

Annie created a powerful Symbol of Acceptance to unite people of all abilities and challenge assumptions. After her passing, this day was established to carry forward her vision of empathy, education, and inclusion.

At B&D Services, we are proud to continue this work by promoting community inclusion and supporting people with disabilities to live, participate, and thrive in the communities they call home. True acceptance means belonging, access, and opportunity for all.

Take a look at our trivia graphic to learn more about Annie’s legacy and the symbol that continues to inspire disability acceptance around the world.

Acceptance isn’t about fixing people—it’s about building communities where everyone belongs.
