Disability Rights Wisconsin partners with the Wisconsin Disability Vote Coalition to:

• Encourage organizations to put on local get-out-the-vote drives and outreach.
• Educate the disability community about voting rights and access issues.
• Let representatives know that people with disabilities are voters and a growing voter bloc.
• Increase voter turnout among people with disabilities and their allies.

You can help before and during the elections.

The DRW Board is made of consumers, family members, and others who have a concern for people with disabilities. The Board makes strong efforts to ensure that its membership is balanced as to the gender, racial, and geographic distribution of people in Wisconsin. Consider joining our board to help us advance the rights of people with disabilities by filling out the online Expression of Interest form.

We also have a few committees that we need people to join:

• PAIMI Advisory Council: make positive change by working to protect and advocate for the rights of Wisconsinites with mental health diagnoses.
• Milwaukee Mental Health Task Force: help identify issues faced by all people affected by mental illness. Help improve mental health services, give consumers and families a strong voice, and reduce stigma.
