✊ United for Justice

Our communities are diverse — across race, ethnicity, nationality, age, gender, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, and disability identity. What we share is a common message. 

We are loud. We are proud. We vote.

And we will work together to make ourselves known.

Project Access - Disability Unite are about building bridges — between disabled and non-disabled people, across sectors, communities, and movements. We believe access is a collective responsibility, and justice is a shared goal.

🌱 Together, We Rise

We’re not here to reinvent the wheel or create new organizations.
We’re here to amplify the work of existing leaders, strengthen shared infrastructure, and uplift the movement that already exists.

As we approach the 35ᵗʰ Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act and look ahead to America 250, we are coming together to honor the past, mobilize the present, and shape a more inclusive future.

In coalition, we are working to:

  • 🎉 Celebrate Disability Pride Month with bold, community-driven programming

  • 🗳️ Increase civic participation and elevate disability leadership

  • 🏛️ Champion inclusive policies and accessible public funding

  • 🎨 Strengthen our networks through creative expression and mutual support

  • 🧱 Lay the groundwork for lasting equity 

  • 📣 Build a visible, united, and unapologetic disability movement

Our Committees and Working Group are moving forward — together.

We’re making real progress expanding access, reimagining engagement, and establishing the systems needed for lasting change.

Join us to:

  • Take part in planning and events

  • Help grow public awareness and cross-community collaboration

  • Advocate for justice in budgets, policies, and programs.

  • Contribute your creativity, your perspective, and your solidarity

🌟Many Lived Experiences. Many Communities. One Vision.

We are many lived experiences — each with unique stories, skills, and perspectives.
We are united by a shared vision:

Opportunity. Equality. Inclusion.

We believe every person has something vital to contribute.
We believe community is strongest when no one is left out and everyone has a place.
We believe the time is now.
