Denver PrideFest takes place June 22-23, 2024 and Thornton Pride Day takes place June 29, 2024.
During the events, members of the RMADAC team will be managing booths at both events. They will be answering questions about the Americans with Disabilities Act and distributing free information about the ADA to event attendees with the goal of raising awareness on how the center can assist them if they ever have questions about the civil rights law that protects all Coloradans. An estimated 1/5 people identify with a disability in the United States (according to the CDC).
"We are absolutely thrilled to participate in both the Denver and Thornton pride events," said Emily Shuman, Director of the Rocky Mountain ADA Center. "Having an opportunity to represent the center during these highly celebrated gatherings is critical in our mission to support anyone who has questions about their rights under ADA. We are here to help and are hopeful to make many new connections during June to ensure that everyone has access to our team who can assist with all ADA related items." "We encourage all attendees to stop by our booths and say hello while taking some information with them so they always know how to connect with your amazing team."
