IL ABLE at the Disability Pride Parade

It was a great day for the Disability Pride Parade in Chicago on July 22. This year marked the 20th anniversary of the event. The Chicago Disability Pride Parade’s mission is to promote pride among people with disabilities and celebrate disability as a “natural and beautiful part of human diversity.”  

The parade route ended at Daley Plaza, where there was a resource fair, music, and festivities. Illinois State Treasurer’s Office Community Engagement Specialist Boguslaw Kwasny and IL ABLE Deputy Director Stephanie Kanter were on hand to meet with attendees to talk with them about the IL ABLE program and to join in the celebrations.  

Five people smiling at camera. Three wheelchair users, one kneeling and one standing.
