The Revolution is Inclusion Campaign

by

This is a very exciting time for our movement — one part celebration of all we have accomplished in the past 50 years and one part a global challenge to get everyone involved in expanding the frontiers of inclusion everywhere, as we embark on the next 50 years.

To that end, we are very excited to announce the launch of “The Revolution Is Inclusion” campaign. It’s an all-out effort, led by our Special Olympics athletes, to end discrimination against all people with intellectual disabilities and to create a fully inclusive world. Please take a few minutes out of your busy day to take the Inclusion Pledge, our challenge to the world is to join this important revolution!
