I wanted to mention one more fun thing in the pipeline…

• We are very excited to be partnering with Global Down Syndrome and Developmental Pathways, Support, Inc., Alliance, JFK Partners to host a screening of the documentary feature Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution. Crip Camp starts in 1971 at Camp Jened, a summer camp in New York for disabled teens. The film focuses on many of the campers who turned themselves into activists for the disability rights movement and follows their fight for accessibility legislation.

Crip Camp won the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for the Best Documentary Feature Academy Award!
