Rally your community. Build an inclusive world.

Join Move United in honoring the legacy of disability rights champions such as Judy Heumann and Eli Wolff, #NationalAdaptiveSportDay is an annual day of advocacy for disability inclusion in sports and recreation.

April 28 marks the anniversary of the signing of the regulations enforcing Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, the landmark civil rights legislation that barred discrimination against people with disabilities in federally funded programs, including sports and recreation.

NationalAdaptiveSportDay advances inclusion in sport while highlighting the power and purpose of the disability community.

Here’s how you can celebrate:
• Post on social media and tag #NationalAdaptiveSportDay.
• Become an ally. Upload your logo to here.
• Rally people to spread the word in your community and network.
• Host an National Adaptive Sport Day event.

Join the Eastcoast Greenway in a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create safer, more connected infrastructure for the Greater Philadelphia and South Jersey region.

With the Delaware River Bridge connecting Florence, New Jersey, and Bristol, Pennsylvania, being replaced, they are calling for the new bridge to include a much-needed shared use path to allow active transportation access across the bridge. Getting from Bristol to Florence without a car currently requires a 26-mile detour–with the shared-use path, that would be cut to just two miles.

Led by their partners Freewalkers, a group will rally and march in Bristol on Saturday, May 2 for the shared use path. Join for a rally and two mile advocacy walk in Bristol, or go the distance and make the 26-mile trek highlighting the gap in access created by the lack of a shared use path. There will be options to return via transit along the way.

Length options: Two miles or 26-miles, with options to customize by returning on transit.
