Expressing support for July to be designated as "Disability Pride Month".
HRES 619 is a symbolic House resolution expressing support for designating July as "Disability Pride Month." It recognizes that 61 million U.S. adults have disabilities and notes July coincides with the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The resolution calls on the public to observe the month through celebrations and to actively prevent discrimination against people with disabilities. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new legal requirements but aims to raise awareness of disability inclusion.
