On March 6, 2024, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors passed the first motion dedicated to cerebral palsy in County history, introduced by Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell and advanced in partnership with Inclusive Sol.
The motion aimed to strengthen cross-department coordination, increase access to resources, and elevate awareness of cerebral palsy across County systems. The effort reflected a broader opportunity: ensuring disability is more visible within public planning, services, and community conversations.
Inclusive Sol was created to expand access to information, strengthen community connection, and help improve how systems respond over time. What began through resource sharing evolved into efforts advancing awareness, partnerships, and systems level change.
A meaningful moment was seeing all five Supervisors wear green ribbons during Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month, signaling visibility for a community often overlooked.
This milestone reinforced something I continue to see: Systems evolve when communities, public leaders, and organizations work together to turn awareness into action.
