Today is National Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day 💚

Cerebral palsy is the most common lifelong physical disability, affecting more than one million Americans. It can impact movement, coordination, and overall health, and every person’s experience is different.

Tonight, Los Angeles City Hall will be lit green in recognition of the day and the campaign.

In Los Angeles, this work is supported by community partners like Inclusive Sol, which expands access to disability services, fosters community connections, and advances public awareness to promote equity and inclusion for individuals with cerebral palsy and other disabilities.
