Vision
A world free from discrimination, where people with disabilities are valued members of their communities with equal access to opportunity.
Mission
To advance the rights, inclusion, and equity of people with disabilities through high-impact litigation, education and advocacy.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
DRA uses the law as a tool to advance the cause of justice for people with disabilities across the country. We work with people with all types of disabilities to promote and ensure equality, inclusivity, and change through high-impact litigation, education, and advocacy. Our goal is to ensure that all people with disabilities are valued, have access to opportunity, and can live with dignity.
We recognize disability as a key component of diversity, and It is a high priority for us to foster and maintain an inclusive environment where diverse perspectives are welcome and where everyone can feel valued. People of color, particularly Black, brown, and indigenous people with disabilities, are especially impacted by disability rights violations. Therefore, we commit to listen to, honor, reflect, and elevate the voices and participation of cross-disability and cross-movement advocates. We commit to serve as a partner with culturally diverse communities of cross-disability and cross-social justice movements to build trust and advocate for societal transformation.
