Community Education, Advocacy and Civic Engagement, Public Policy
Having a Spinal Cord injury puts your life at risk. Not having access to services and medical supplies due to policies that punish poverty, immigration status or both represents even a bigger barrier. We face legal and institutional barriers as well as negative attitudes, fear and prejudice towards people with disabilities, migrants and people of color. We affirm our right to have life in abundance, we affirm the right of All People to have All Rights.
Some of our actions in this program are:
Membership and Leadership Development
Advocacy - Policy Campaigns
Metro and Mobility
Immigrant rights
Worker Rights
Disability Rights
Public Education
