What Can YOU Do to Advance the Employment of People with Disabilities?
Share These Videos!
In support of the What Can YOU Do? outreach effort, the Campaign for Disability Employment is pleased to present the Campaign for Disability Employment’s “I
Can” public service announcement (PSA). This flagship PSA was produced
specifically for the What Can YOU Do? Campaign. It features seven real
people – not actors – with hidden and obvious disabilities,
demonstrating what they “can do” on the job when given the opportunity.
Intended for television broadcast, we would like to see this PSA and
its inspiring message distributed as widely as possible. We invite you
to share it with others so we can all remember that at work, it’s what
people can do that matters
