July is Disability Pride Month

Image of the Disability Pride Flag, five diagonal stripes in different colors to represent different disabilities; both the stripes and the dark background are muted to indicate the struggles faced by those with disabilities.

Disability Pride Month is a time to highlight and celebrate the contributions people with disabilities make to our Union. Since not all disabilities are visible, we encourage everyone to use this month as an opportunity to educate yourself on ableism and how to eliminate it from our workplaces. 

Did you know CUPE offers a workshop on Disability and Ableism in the Workplace? If you are interested in taking this course when it is next offered, please reach out to the Education chair to indicate your interest.

Below are some educational resources to get you started!
