In March 2026, Los Angeles formally recognized Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day, illuminated City Hall green, and affirmed that disability is a natural and valuable part of human diversity, and that access, belonging, and participation strengthen communities.

The milestone reflected collaboration among the City of Los Angeles Department on Disability, the offices of Councilmembers Heather Hutt and John Lee, community partners, and Inclusive Sol, which initiated efforts to elevate Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day within the City and has now helped advance two City Hall lightings in green to increase visibility for cerebral palsy and disability communities.

The recognition aligned with the City’s LA For All commitment, affirming that discrimination has no place in Los Angeles and that equity must extend to every community. The resolution emphasized that advancing belonging requires intentional coordination across education, employment, housing, transportation, and public life, so residents with disabilities can fully participate, lead, and shape the future of the City.

One of the most meaningful moments was seeing Elijah Sol, the inspiration behind Inclusive Sol, react to Los Angeles City Hall being illuminated green.

Representation, visibility, and policy are connected. What communities see recognized publicly can influence what becomes possible within systems over time.

The work continues beyond awareness months.
