People with Disabilities Awareness Day 2020

The 25th Anniversary of People with Disabilities Awareness Day is going to be different - so let’smake it great!

The first and fourth floor rotundas of the state Capitol are unavailable for our regular event due to construction. So we have to think outside the box.

You can help raise awareness and mark the day by interacting with your lawmakers and fellow supporters.

Here is how we do it:

1.

Register, go to www.okdrs.gov/pwdad to register for the event so that we can keep you informed of all the online activities and share ways to mark the event. 

2.

Call your lawmakers or write a letter or email. 

Make an appointment to visit with them if possible.

Don’t know who your lawmakers are or how to get ahold of them? 

Go to www.okdrs.gov/pwdad for help.  

Make contact on or before the day of the event.

Share your stories and tell them what you think is needed to make the lives of Oklahomans with disabilities better when you contact them.

3.

One month before People with Disabilities Awareness Day on Feb. 10, you can add a frame to your profile pic on Facebook. It will be available on the DRS Facebook page.

Then, share our posts, comment on our posts, and create your own posts and make sure to use the hashtag #PWDAD2020. 

5.

Finally, encourage family and friends to do the same. 

Remember to use #PWDAD2020

This will be a great day. Let’s work together!
