Take Action

AAPD action alerts connect you with the decision makers and opinion leaders who need to hear from our community. Sign up for action alerts and you will receive information about how you can make a difference in issues that matter.

Real stories are the most powerful tool for creating change. Whether we are making our case with a Congressional staffer, a member of the press, or our neighbors, we are most successful when we can describe the real human impact of an issue—and give the issue a name and a face. If you’ve been affected by bullying or discrimination, have been denied access to health care, housing, or education, your story will help us fight those problems. If you want to educate your fellow Americans about the powerful, ambitious, excellent person you are, your story will help us break down stereotypes. If you simply support justice—because of a family member with a disability or simply because of your values—your story will educate and inspire.

A partnership with AAPD means contact with thousands of members and supporters nationwide as well as opinion leaders and leaders in business and government. AAPD’s partners have promoted job opportunities for people with disabilities, created valuable educational tools, promoted better practices in workplace and educational settings, and learned the practices necessary to grow and retain a diverse workforce that includes individuals with disabilities.

Disability affects every sector of our society, and AAPD is working across the country and in a wide variety of settings to promote opportunity and build community.

Learn about ways to promote disability rights and greater access on your campus, organize a disability employment event, or get out the vote.

Coming Soon.
