Change Begins With Us
Welcome to the Michigan Disability Advocacy Caucus – dedicated to championing the rights of disabled individuals in Michigan.
We firmly believe that change begins with each one of us, and by uniting our voices, we can create a more inclusive and equitable society. Michigan’s disabled community deserves to be heard, respected, and empowered to live life to the fullest.
We strive to shed light on the unique challenges faced by disabled individuals and mobilize the collective strength required to bring about positive transformation.
Together, let’s be the catalysts for change, because true advocacy starts with the commitment of individuals like you. It’s time to build a Michigan that celebrates diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and reasonable accommodations. We strive to ensure that all community members are valued and respected.
