Disablity Advocates

Since 1989, it has been the mission of Disability Advocates to protect and advance the rights of adults and kids who have disabilities so that they can freely exercise their own life choices, enforce their rights, and fully participate in their community life. We reach this goal through policy advocacy, litigation, coalition-building, public information and technical support for other advocates for people with disabilities in New York. Our litigation has defeated efforts by municipalities to exclude housing for persons with disabilities, assured the accessibility of movie theaters and state operated community residences.
