Expressing support for July to be designated as "Disability Pride Month".

H. Res. 613 is a non-binding resolution introduced in the House of Representatives in the 119th Congress. It expresses the sense of the House that July should be designated as “Disability Pride Month.” The bill highlights the prevalence of disabilities in the population (citing CDC and Census Bureau figures), celebrates the contributions of people with disabilities across many sectors, and notes ongoing discrimination and inequities. Importantly, the resolution calls on the American people and relevant groups to observe Disability Pride Month with celebrations and activities and to actively work to prevent exclusion and discrimination. As a resolution, it does not create new law, authorize funding, or impose enforceable requirements; rather, it serves as a symbolic statement of support and a call to action. The resolution was introduced by Rep. McCollum (along with a large group of co-sponsors) and referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce. It references the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and situates Disability Pride Month within the broader context of disability rights and inclusion.
