Through August 1, MCD will highlight some areas of life made more accessible “Thanks to the ADA.” We will also celebrate by sharing some new and past segments of “Keep Moving Forward,” an interview series featuring people with disabilities sharing perspectives, insights, and experiences produced by Ampers.
