2026 Gala Honoree: Charlie Carr
In honor of our 30th anniversary, we are thrilled to present the Visionary Changemaker Award to Charlie Carr.
Long before DPC existed, Charlie's leadership, advocacy, and commitment were already helping to shape the disability rights movement in profound and lasting ways. As one of DPC’s founders, he brought that vision and experience into building an organization that has had a meaningful impact on the lives of so many people. His influence extends far beyond DPC itself, and his work over the years has built the foundation of the disability rights movement we see today. In his current role as DPC's Legislative Liaison, Charlie's leadership and example continues to guide our community-based advocacy.
