Join us in the 21-Day Disability Equity Challenge!
United Ways across the state of Michigan are partnering with local Centers for Independent Living to present this 21-Day Disability Equity Challenge. This statewide effort will explore disability from a position of equity and pride to raise awareness, increase understanding, and shift perspectives about disability in our culture.
