Disability Belongs - Formerly RespectAbility

Redefining Narratives. Developing Leaders. Driving Opportunity. RespectAbility is a diverse, disability-led nonprofit organization whose mission is to fight stigmas and advance opportunities so people with disabilities can fully participate in all aspects of community. We help fight stigmas by promoting authentic portrayals of disabilities; advance opportunities by identifying and promoting best practices in education, employment, civic engagement and accessibility; and develop a diverse talent pipeline of young leaders with disabilities. We have met one-on-one with 48 of America’s governors, provided testimony in every state, hosted thousands of people for in-person trainings and webinars and written numerous toolkits to expand best practices. The issues we focus on save the lives and livelihoods of the country’s most marginalized.

About the organization

- 202, R23, O50 -

After a thorough and inclusive process a year in the making RespectAbility is now known as Disability Belongs. Our mission focus and priorities remain unchanged. By incorporating disability into our name we emphasize that being disabled is part of the human experience. We will continue to push for systemic change for people with disabilities and their intersecting identities.
