Government Access for People with Disabilities

Every single policy, decision, and system intersects and affects people with disabilities. But too often, there are no disability voices included in our governments and leadership. And, when we are not included, there will inevitably be gaps and challenges that affect our everyday lives.

We have the power to change the world around us and the Government Access for People with Disabilities educational package is a great place to start. We must increase the badly needed representation of the disability community and it starts with your voice, your lived experience, and the steps that you take next.
