Thank You

As we reflect on the 2025 NYC Disability Pride Parade, we remember our immense fortune to be in a City dedicated to the civil rights of others and that elevates one another in moments of injustice.

To our event coordinators, we thank you for the energy and effort you put into the Parade each year. Your partnership is invaluable to us and the community as a whole.

To our Grand Marshals, we thank you for the advocacy you demonstrated, the enthusiasm you cultivated, and the example you set for activism in this critical time.

To our performers, we thank you for the artistry you brought to the Parade route, yielding joy and excitement that far exceeded anything the community has experienced at our event previously.

To our volunteers, we thank you for the time, commitment, and patience you offered throughout the event, ensuring every participant was included, and the Parade ran smoothly.

To our donors, we thank you for your generosity and care for the disability community in a time of limited resources. 

To our sponsors, we thank you for your allyship and efforts to advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in an environment that seeks to harm marginalized communities, including people with disabilities.

Finally, to our community, you are the heart of this celebration. Your resilience in the face of adversity, kindness in a sea of cruelty, and advocacy in an atmosphere of hostility are the motivating factors for us every year. It is our sincere hope that you will continue to be the disability rights champions you are.
