On Saturday Perspektiva, an organization that supports and advocates for people with physical and developmental disabilities, is holding their annual parade in Gorky Park. Called “Move for Change!” the parade will start about noon and move along the river embankment.
Anyone and everyone is welcome to join in and move along the riverside however you want – in wheelchairs, on bicycles and three-wheelers, on scooters, skateboards, rollerblades or on foot. The parade is a way of drawing attention to the importance and success of inclusion of people with disabilities in every aspect of daily life.
To participate, you don’t have to have a disability, but you are encouraged to come in a costume, or with face paint, or carrying a homemade sign or banner in support of barrier-free environments and inclusion. For members of the foreign community with disabilities, there will be people to help translate (English) and make introductions.
Back at the park Nike Box MSK is hosting inclusive events: boccia, goalball, wheelchair basketball, relay races and all kinds of master classes. After contests for the best costume, best corporate logos, and best banners the day will end with a concert.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
