​By creating conduits for this exchange, we serve as a catalyst for amplifying the voices of those living with a disability, enacting systemic changes to support their needs, and cultivating a sense of belonging between the disability sector and a broader public within an inclusive, diverse, and vibrant community.

GATHERING THE EXPERIENCES
SHARE YOUR 2021 EXPERIENCES
disABILITYsa is working to collect the stories of those living with a disability within the San Antonio community.  Sharing stories and experiences will help keep the voices of San Antonians with disabilities part of the future planning discussions.
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.

I HAVE A VOICE
