We work towards a future in which all people with disabilities are treated with respect, have decision-making power, and can access the opportunities that are available to people without disabilities. You can help us get there.
Imagine what it's like to face injustices as a person with a disability.
- Imagine that you are the parent of grade-schooler who uses a wheelchair. He returns home from school in a pull-up diaper because his school aids will not bring him to the restroom as needed.
- Imagine that you have bladder cancer and your employer refuses to let you take the extra bathroom breaks that you need to make it through your shift.
- Imagine that you have a mental illness and your father threatened you with forced-sterilization.
Our current funds do not enable us to support all of those who need us. Can you imagine what disability rights could look like with your support?
- Imagine a child with a disability who gets the support he needs in order to feel respected and be included with his peers.
- Imagine an employee with a disability who keeps her job with reasonable accommodations, and continues supporting her family.
- Imagine a person with a mental illness who is empowered to decide what happens to her body.
Your donations help fight for the rights of people with disabilities in the following ways:
- We provide legal and advocacy services when issues like these arise.
- We train community members on disability rights, to prevent issues like these.
- We educate legislators on how policies impact people with disabilities, to help change the system.
