Join us for the 5th Annual Radical Joy Ball as we celebrate and honor the community living at the intersections of LGBTQ and disability identities. We envision a world where people can fully and authentically express themselves, a world where people of ALL abilities, genders and sexualities are welcome! There will be music, runway performances, dancing, and a special performance by our partner organization, Drag Artists for Expression NYC!
