Tips for Inclusive Holiday Gatherings
The holiday season is a time for coming together, and true celebration means ensuring everyone can fully participate in the festivities. Creating an inclusive environment where all guests feel valued and appreciated not only strengthens bonds but also celebrates the diversity within our communities. Through thoughtful planning and consideration, we can make our holiday gatherings more accessible and welcoming for everyone. When we take steps to create inclusive celebrations, we're doing more than just hosting an event—we're building spaces where everyone can share in the joy and warmth of the season.

We support and promote public policy goals that positively impact the lives of people with disabilities. MCD helps policymakers understand how their decisions affect the disability community and brings together members of the government and the public to comment on legislation.
Each session, lawmakers introduce dozens of bills that will impact the disability community. The amount of legislation introduced each session makes it a daunting task to follow the ones you might be interested in. We compile a list of disability-related legislation to make it easier for you to stay informed.
There are over half a million valid disability parking certificates and plates in Minnesota. We provide the “Do’s and Don’ts” of disability parking, as well as information on disability parking laws and regulations.
A service animal is a dog, or in some cases a miniature horse, individually trained to do work or perform tasks for someone with a disability. Service animals are different from Emotional Support Animals (ESA) and can go almost anywhere with their owners. MCD works to inform the public about service animals and protect the rights of people with disabilities.
