Create Your Own Social Media Posts
The Disability Pride Parade is a community-led event. This means the disability community is included in all elements of planning the Parade, including promotion. We encourage you to design social media posts based on this year's theme (Love Unites: We're All In This Together) and post them on various platforms.
