As Philanthropy & NonProfits Battle Systematic Prejudice, RespectAbility Offers Free Sessions on Including People With Disabilities


LOS ANGELES, July 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Across America people are doing vital work ? protesting and working to fight structural racism. At the same time, Black people with disabilities are being excluded even in nonprofit groups that are working to fight inequity.

RespectAbility conducted a major study and published Disability in Philanthropy & Nonprofits, which looked at the levels of disability inclusion in the social sector across the country. The largescale study found significant data showing that nationwide, organizations overall want to be inclusive, but are unintentionally excluding the one-in-five people with disabilities.

To help remedy this challenge, on Tuesday, July 28 from 1:00 ? 3:00 p.m. ET / 10:00 a.m. ? 12:00 p.m. PT, the nonprofit disability group RespectAbility will feature two sessions focused on ensuring that nonprofits, foundations and other community-based organizations have the knowledge, resource and mindset needed to be inclusive of ALL people in their communities, including people with disabilities. The session is a part of a 5-day major online #ADA30 summit celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. RespectAbility is committed to being a partner to fellow nonprofit and philanthropic organizations, including by providing free resources for the sector to use to become more inclusive and accessible.
