Disability Pride celebrates the important history of the disability civil rights movement and recognizes contributions that people with disabilities make in workplaces and communities. 

All King County employees are welcome and encouraged to participate in Disability Pride Month events. Join the conversation that honors the lived experience of King County employees with disabilities and highlights continued efforts to advance disability equity and justice in King County. 

Movie and Discussion: Crip Camp   

Watch and discuss the Sundance Festival award-winning documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which tells the story of Camp Jened, a summer camp where teens with disabilities found and built a community that ignited the disability rights movement.

Facilitators will share clips from the documentary and explore the themes of disability inclusive community, activism and self-advocacy, and the intersection of race and disability. The full documentary is available on Netflix and free on YouTube.

The event is sponsored by the King County Disability Equity Network, the King County Disability Awareness Month Committee, and co-hosted by Superior Court.
