As American poet Toi Derricotte said, “Joy is an act of resistance.”

Coming together in pride and joy is powerful.

On September 10th, we're gathering to celebrate the people, creativity, relationships, and shared experiences that make Disability Culture extraordinary.

We'll laugh. We’ll cheer. We’ll connect with old friends and make new ones. We will honor our history and plan our future. And we’ll celebrate being loud, proud, and unstoppable!

Join us at the Ed Roberts Campus in Berkeley or online for DREDF's 47th Anniversary Gala featuring advocate and recording artist Lachi.
