Fourth Annual Disability Pride Parade!

"Silicon Valley Independent Living Center (SVILC) presents the 4th Annual West Coast Disability Pride Parade & Festival to be held on Saturday, July 20, 2013 in Downtown Mountain View, Calif. The event traditionally celebrates the historical significance of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 and coincides with many Disability Pride celebrations happening around the world in Chicago, Houston, Atlanta, Detroit, Colorado Springs, and New Jersey, as well as Norway, the U.K. and Korea to name a few.

Come join this fully inclusive event that reflects the themes of disability justice, inclusion, diversity, and the independent living philosophy which supports empowerment of individuals with disabilities to make choices and manage our own lives."

This event is free.  To participate in the parade, please complete a short registration form.  You can also stand on the sidelines to cheer us on!

When: July 20th, 2013, 11:00 - 3:00pm
