It is with extreme sadness we mourn the passing of Judy Heumann. Judy was a trailblazer and a fierce fighter in upholding the fundamental rights of people with disabilities. May her legacy and memory continue to inspire us to build a world where there's dignity for all.

MOPD was excited to participate in the Cardinal Career & Resource Exploration Fair, on March 2nd at York College – it was an amazing opportunity for students with disabilities to learn about the resources organizations offered.

Saturday, February 11th: The NYC Government Job Fair was hugely successful. Hundreds of jobseekers lined up outside DC 37 to meet with city agency recruiters. MOPD’s NYC: ATWORK provided assistance to jobseekers with disabilities.
