Thank You for Advancing Disability History with Us This Year!

12/18/2025

blurred holiday lights

As we come to the close of the year, we want to pause and say thank you.

Your support, participation, and belief in the work of the Western Pennsylvania Disability History and Action Consortium made a real difference this year.

Whether you attended an event, contributed to our projects, shared our work, volunteered, or simply stayed connected, you are part of a community committed to preserving and advancing disability history and justice.

As we move into the final weeks of the year, we also want to let you know that the Consortium will be on a holiday break from Friday, December 19 through Sunday, January 4. During this time, our team will be offline and will resume regular work and communications on Monday, January 5.

We’re deeply grateful for the care and energy our community brings to this work, and we’re looking forward to continuing it together in the new year.

Wishing you rest, connection, and a peaceful holiday season!
