Join us for #DisabilityPride in Pennsylvania
Exciting New Project for 2023!
Exploring Nature with Disability Pride PA is a project to find ways for our communities to come together again in 2023 in safe, outdoor spaces in response to the ongoing COVID pandemic. Disability Pride PA will produce activities along the Delaware River Trail from South Philly to Penn’s Landing along the Delaware River Trail, an area chosen for its ease to public transportation and built in access. We will do an accessibility assessment of the trail as we explore.
Watch out for more information regarding upcoming events, a scavenger hunt, and check out our social media campaign as we introduce everyone to the trail and interesting facts about the trail. Events may include: Walk & Learns, Picnic along the Delaware Trail, Disability Arts Show, and Making Music with PHONK Philly.
Thank you to PA Environmental Council (PEC) Circuit Trails Coalition Community Grant Program with funding from the William Penn Foundation.
