July marks the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life. In commemoration of the law’s passage, Iowa PBS is launching Move to Include, a national initiative that uses public media to inform and transform attitudes and behavior about inclusion. Iowa PBS will provide special programming throughout July that spotlights people with differing abilities and disability issues including education, health care, housing, recreation, employment and advocating for positive change. “People with disabilities make up our single largest minority in this country,” explains Iowa PBS Executive Director and General Manager Molly Phillips. “Through Move to Include, we hope to build a more inclusive Iowa by inspiring and motivating people to embrace different abilities and include all people in every aspect of community life.” The statewide network will work to organize community partnerships, acquire and create content, and provide outreach, engagement and promotion for the initiative. Iowa PBS will also contribute content to the PBS LearningMedia collection used by teachers, families and students free of charge. The premiere broadcast schedule of July’s Move to Include programs on Iowa PBS’s primary channel can be found here.
