Move to Include™ at WXXI

WXXI Move to Include Logo in the center. Montage of people with a variety of disabilities: Man helping older man navigate the street, Child in wheel chair painting with their teacher, Young women with prosthetic leg, Two men communicating with ASL.

WXXI is proud to be the home of Move to IncludeTM, an award-winning national initiative to promote disability inclusion, representation, and accessibility in public media. Built on the principle of “Nothing About Us Without Us”, Move to Include spotlights the lived experience of people with disabilities and highlights important issues around disability, including education, healthcare, housing, employment, and more – through television, radio, news, education, community events, and digital media.

This initiative has its roots in “Dialogue on Disability”, a now 20+ year partnership between WXXI and the Al Sigl Community of Agencies’ Herman and Margaret Schwartz Community Series. In 2014, we received the generous support of The Golisano Foundation to formally launch a year-round initiative that became Move to IncludeTM.

Today, the Move to IncludeTM network includes PBS stations throughout the United States, led by the team here at WXXI.
