Achieving Milestones
So Every BODY Can Move’s relentless advocacy work, coalition-building, and state-by-state legislative change is upending healthcare inequities for the disability community. We have achieved legislative milestones across the country, creating insurance coverage for physical activity prostheses and orthoses one state – and step – at a time.

What is 28×28?
28×28 represents our 5-year goal: to enact So Every BODY Can Move legislation in 28 states by the 2028 Los Angeles Paralympics so we can then pursue federal, nationwide reform. But we need your support to fuel our advocacy engine. Become a part of 28×28 – as a partner, donor, or sponsor – and invest in our nationwide movement for mobility.
Resources That Mobilize Change
Physical activity is medically necessary for every body but access is not equitable. We’re mobilizing grassroots advocates across the country to create change by providing the critical resources they need to be successful in their states. Join us and help us elevate this support.
Upcoming Events
Exciting events await you! Join us on this transformational journey, where we unite to empower Every BODY through inclusive gatherings and experiences that inspire limitless mobility.
