|---|
| 14 | 14 | | Whereas, disability is a natural part of human life and human diversity that |
|---|
| 15 | 15 | | should not compromise a person' s fundamental right to independence, |
|---|
| 16 | 16 | | self-determination, or participation in public life; and |
|---|
| 17 | 17 | | Whereas, the disabled community is the world's largest minority, making up an |
|---|
| 18 | 18 | | estimated 15 percent of the world's population, including 61 million Americans and |
|---|
| 19 | 19 | | more than 300,000 Wisconsinites; and |
|---|
| 20 | 20 | | Whereas, disability intersects with many other identities, including race, |
|---|
| 21 | 21 | | gender, and socioeconomic status, and touches every aspect of daily life, from health |
|---|
| 22 | 22 | | care and housing to education and environmental justice; and |
|---|
| 23 | 23 | | Whereas, disability is itself an extremely diverse identity, including physical |
|---|
| 24 | 24 | | disabilities, neurodivergence, invisible and undiagnosed disabilities, psychiatric |
|---|
| 25 | 25 | | disabilities, and sensory disabilities; and |
|---|
| 26 | 26 | | Whereas, disabled activists have fought long and hard to break down barriers |
|---|
| 27 | 27 | | to inclusion but nonetheless continue to face discrimination, segregation, and |

| 46 | 46 | | inaccessible environments that prevent them from living fully and equitably in their |
|---|
| 47 | 47 | | communities; and |
|---|
| 48 | 48 | | Whereas, the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination |
|---|
| 49 | 49 | | on the basis of disability status and has helped ensure disabled people can access the |
|---|
| 50 | 50 | | accommodations they need, was signed into law on July 26, 1990; and |
|---|
| 51 | 51 | | Whereas, during the month of July, we celebrate the value, contributions, and |
|---|
| 52 | 52 | | diverse life experiences of disabled Wisconsinites and reaffirm our commitment to |
|---|
| 53 | 53 | | build a more equitable and inclusive state for all; now therefore, be it |
|---|
| 54 | 54 | | Resolved by the assembly, the senate concurring, That the Wisconsin |

| 55 | 55 | | Legislature designates July 2023 as Disability Pride Month in Wisconsin. |
