Advocacy, fairness, inclusion - these aren’t just empty platitudes, but real goals Creative Spirit and our partners are working towards every day. This Disability Pride Month, we’re making those ideals a reality by fighting against 14c, an outdated policy that allows employers to pay workers with disabilities sub-minimum wage. This simply cannot stand. Will you join Creative Spirit in making a difference?

This remarkable program seeks to integrate #IndividualsWithDisabilities into the Israel Defense Forces, moving on to #employment and independence after their service.
