Today is International Human Rights Day.

We honor this day by reaffirming something we believe deeply: every person deserves dignity, respect, opportunity, and the ability to live their greatest life.

Human Rights Day is a reminder that the rights of people with disabilities are human rights — and that inclusion, choice, and community belonging matter every day.

We’re proud to stand alongside the people we support, our staff, families, and partners as we work together to advance accessibility, equity, and meaningful opportunities.

Let’s continue building a world where everyone’s voice is heard and everyone’s rights are upheld.
