Mission/Vision Statement:
Our Mission: To support the self advocacy of people with disabilities for positive impact in our communities and in people's lives. Our Vision: A world where people with developmental disabilities and their families are united to share knowledge, empower others, and use their voices to transform their communities and people's lives.

Typical Activities:
Disability Advocacy led by people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We do peer education, share information of a wide range of ways for everyone to advocate, promote self determination and everyday lives for all.

In the past this has included things like teleconferences, in person self advocacy trainings, policy advising and advocacy, mobilizing people with ID/DD to give input on state and national issues concerning them, and much more.
