The Vax-abilitySTRONG Education and Outreach Campaign program provides the San Antonio/Bexar County disability community with information about COVID-19 vaccines and addresses concerns and barriers around receiving a vaccine.

disABILITYsa is hosting two workshops for Pharmacies & Clinics to learn about strategies and tools that would allow them to become more disability-friendly.

PARTNERS IN THE DISABILITY VOTE
JOIN THE PARTNERSHIP TODAY!
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.
