Empowering People with Disabilities

To coincide with National Disability Voter Registration Week, the RI Disability Rights and Access Coalition (RIDRAC) has launched its Empowering People with Disabilities Campaign, an effort through 2020 to register Rhode Islanders with disabilities to vote and remind them to participate in elections. The American Association of People with Disabilities (AADP) and state’s across the country recognize July 15 - 19, 2019 as National Disability Voter Registration Week to encourage civic engagement of people with disabilities throughout the country.

It is the goal of the RIDRAC to increase voter participation and engagement of people with disabilities in RI. The Coalition will also host civic engagement training events focused on providing attendees the skills and knowledge to effectively participate in democracy in their local communities.
