This year’s World Down Syndrome Day theme, “I have Down syndrome, and I belong,” is a powerful reminder that every person deserves to be valued, included, and accepted for who they are. The theme celebrates the voices, identities, and contributions of individuals with Down syndrome, emphasizing that belonging is not something to be earned, it is a fundamental human right.

We envision a world where all people with Down syndrome feel a sense of belonging and are welcomed with fairness, enthusiasm, and encouragement while achieving their full potential through meaningful inclusion and unlimited opportunities. You can help move our community forward by investing in DSNMC's programs, education, outreach, and advocacy efforts with a monthly, tax-deductible gift. Blaze a trail by becoming one of our first 21 monthly givers by World Down Syndrome Day (3/21/26) and inspire others to join us on the path to belonging!
