Current Events
California’s National Disability Voter Registration Week
July 15th-19th, 2019 | Online and Community Events
Disability Organizing Network joins REVUP in celebrating National Disability Voter Registration Week by launching a non-partisan, statewide, community organizing effort to highlight organizations and groups that increase voter accessibility, registration, and engagement. We are using the hashtag #DisabilityVoteCA!
Our goal is to organize, highlight, and amplify the collective power of Californians with Disabilities and our vote.
So we are inviting all disability related organizations, collectives, groups and more to join us as partners. All partners will be highlighting their local events and/or spotlighting leaders in their communities. Disability Organizing Network will provide technical assistance and support to all partners.
