Meet other people who are interested in and support accessibility and disability rights.

Make new friends and coordinate to improve and protect the rights of all individuals to full community, public and private sector access.

Our intentions are to work towards forming a non-profit group with a mission of educating the public about the importance of and their role in furthering the cause of inclusive design providing access for all.

Equal opportunities for persons with disabilities are guaranteed civil rights. They are Human Rights.

For example, in the United States, Federal and State laws protect the rights of people with disabilities and cover most situations including, but not limited to the:
- process involved in seeking and maintaining employment;
- proper and full access to State and local government services and programs
- proper access to public accommodations and commercial facilities (i.e.: businesses which serve the public)
- rights to effective transportation, etc.

We must come together and work to open up all aspects of community life to all those who may wish to participate...

It's right, it makes sense, it's the law!

Meetup topics
Disability Rights, Human Rights, Civil Rights, Evolutionary Business

      I work with people with disabilities and have a chronic medical conition. I believe there is a strong need for this group as there are misconceptions of those with disabilities in the general society. I also believe PWD have a lot to offer if we can
