Move to Include™ is a national initiative that uses the power of public media to promote inclusion. It spotlights people with disabilities and disability issues – including education, healthcare, housing, recreation, employment – through television, radio, news, special events, and social media. The initiative works to inspire and motivate people to embrace people with disabilities, support inclusion policies and include all people in all aspects of community life.

History of Move to Include™
Move to Include™ was launched in 2014 as a partnership between WXXI Public Media and the Golisano Foundation, the nation’s largest private foundation devoted to supporting programs for people with intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities. The Foundation has provided more than $1 million in funding to date for Move to Include™ .
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting recognizes the importance of diversity and inclusion, as well as the value of expanding locally-developed community-based models of content and engagement. CPB funded the expansion of Move to Include™ to five additional public media stations in 2019 and now the team at WXXI is working to expand the program to additional stations across the country.
Move to Include Advisory Board (TBD)
