Hundreds attended the 21st Annual Chicago Disability Pride Parade on July 20 in downtown Chicago. With the theme, “Disability Pride will not be denied,” the parade began at Plymouth Court and concluded at Daley Plaza, where post-parade festivities took place.
Chicago-born painter and disability advocate Genevieve Ramos served as the 2024 Grand Marshal. The parade also honored longtime disability activist and parade organizer Justin Cooper, who passed away just 11 days before the event.
Windy City Times captured portraits of some LGBTQ+ community members and allies at the parade and post-parade rally, showcasing their celebration of intersectionality.
