Let's Move Together Let's Move Together towards improved human rights! The Arthritis Foundation has joined efforts with the Human Rights Art Festival to help build awareness regarding human rights and justice issues related to people with disabilities. Arthritis is the most common cause of disability in the country. There are 46 million adults, including 300,000 children, with arthritis who deserve the same rights and dignity as others through the elimination of disability discrimination. To promote the new Let's Move Together movement the Arthritis Foundation will show an arthritis-related film and speaker series; host a Show Us Your Moves video contest (dancing encouraged!); provide arts and craft activities for kids; display and sell art developed by adults and children with arthritis to raise funds for its upcoming Arthritis Walk; provide sample evidence-based arthritis exercise instruction; and more!
