Our walk was cut short and we got back just before the deluge! The rainbow after was pretty cool though. #rainbowsend, #love, #summer25

A graphic featuring a black and white photo of Stevie Wonder on the right. He is wearing sunglasses and headphones and singing into a microphone. On the left, a quote in large blue text reads: β€œMy desire is to – in my lifetime – be a very integral part of getting this country and the world completely accessible to everyone with any disability. There should be nowhere that we can’t go, and there should be nothing that we can’t do. Below the quote, in smaller blue text, is Wonder’s title: β€œMusician, disability rights activist.” In the bottom right corner is a blue box with the text β€œDisability Pride Month” in purple. In the bottom left corner is the ACLU logo in blue.

Stevie Wonder is a renowned musician and vocal advocate for those with disabilities. He raises funds and awareness for children with disabilities, pushing for greater accessibility for people who are blind and visually impaired.

This Disability Pride Month, we celebrate Stevie’s art and impact.

And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
