AMPLIFying THE CONSIDERATIONS OF
PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

At disABILITYsa, we believe that meaningful progress starts with listening to and uplifting the voices of those with lived experience and the allies who support them. Through surveys, advisory panels, leadership initiatives, and civic engagement opportunities, you can actively contribute to shaping policies, programs, and awareness efforts that advance equity and inclusion for the disability community. Whether you're looking to share insights, serve your community, or grow as a leader, your involvement makes a difference.

The disability vote includes people living with a disability, family members and friends, advocates, educators, professionals, providers, bureaucrats, and supporters. The disability community has a major stake in the outcome of this election. Issues important to people with disabilities must be part of the platform for any candidate running for public office, be it a City Council position or for Mayor.

The disability service providers, leaders, retailers, and groups of San Antonio are invited to join in a collective effort around The Disability Vote in San Antonio.

Our efforts will be focused on: 
  1. Getting topics of interest for people with disabilities into the candidate debates and forums for the upcoming May election. 
  2. Get out the Vote! Ensuring those living with disabilities are registered to vote and understand how to exercise their voice in the election process. 
  3. Break down barriers that continue to prevent individuals with disabilities from actively participating in the election process.
