Interfaith Disability Advocacy Coalition (IDAC)
The Interfaith Disability Advocacy Coalition (IDAC) mobilizes the religious community to take action on disability policy with Congress, the President and Administration, and society at large. IDAC is a diverse, nonpartisan coalition of national religious and religiously affiliated organizations whose core spiritual values affirm the rights and dignity of people with disabilities.
Although IDAC is not an AAPD program, AAPD serves as a convener to bring together the diverse voices of the disability and religious communities.
If your organization is interested in joining IDAC or would like to learn more please contact us at communications@www.aapd.com or 202-521-4316 and follow us on Facebook!
