Inclusion The Movement – Disability History New York City
by Warren Shaw
Several different strands of the City’s disability rights movement came together at an event in Brooklyn on a bitingly cold evening in December, 2024.
First and foremost was an organization known as Inclusion The Movement, which hosted the event to celebrate its parent organization’s tenth anniversary as a provider of services to the City of New York, under the City’s MWBE (minority and women owned business) program.
Inclusion’s staff consists mostly of people who are formerly incarcerated and/or disabled, consistent with the organization’s motto--to “employ, empower, and enrich” its workers.
