America Walks is excited to bring the series back for an episode that will explore the topic of ableism and how it informs our programs, places, and interactions, “Addressing Ableism in Your Built Environment.”
 
This program will look at how individual, organizational, and institutional privilege intentionally and unintentionally creates barriers to the safe, accessible, and equitable spaces to walk and move that we all aspire to create. It will explore the topic of ableism and include presentations from experts on proactive and immediate ways individuals can contribute to dismantling the pervasive daily exclusion that people with disabilities experience every day. Attendees of this webinar will:

• Explore the topic of ableism and how it is found in programs, policies, and places related to walkable and moveable communities
• Hear from experts on their own perspectives and experiences with ableism
• Learn tools, resources, and ways to dismantle the barriers ableism creates
