Happy anniversary to both the Americans with Disabilities Act and us (CCDC was founded 34 years ago to help ensure the ADA was enforced)! Thank you to everyone who joined us last night at the ADA Awards. It was amazing to catch up with old friends and to meet new friends. As we're celebrating today, we wanted to share some words of reflection and an exciting announcement from one of our Co Executive Directors, Julie Reiskin. https://lnkd.in/gwpVtNsA

关于我们
Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition (CCDC) is the premier organization in Colorado advocating for disability rights. Our mission is to advocate for social justice for people with all types of disabilities (what we call cross-disability). We work with individuals, service providers, businesses, and government agencies to ensure that people with what we call cross-disability have equal rights and equal access. Cross-Disability means we all work together regardless of what our individual disabilities may be. We are run by and for people with all types of disabilities: from Down Syndrome to Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, Autism, people with brain injuries, people with mental illness, those who are blind or deaf, and much more. Our arms, our hearts, and our services are open wide. We know those of us with disabilities have a lot to offer. Our motto is “Nothing About Us Without Us.” We ensure physical structures are compliant and policies and procedures decrease barriers. ? We seek compliance with the ADA and help others to accomplish the same. To secure our services for training or consultation, contact our Executive Director Julie Reiskin at [email protected] or by calling 303-839-1775. To volunteer in the fight for disability rights, contact our Director of Community Organizing Dawn Howard at [email protected] or by calling 303-839-1775. Please be aware we do not accept volunteers or interns for our legal programs.

Our priority bill for this session, SB24-094 passed the House Transportation, Local Government and Housing committee on Tuesday! We are one step closer to updating the state’s warranty of habitability law and helping all Coloradans have access to healthy, safe and climate resilient homes!
