About us
Disability Rights Washington (DRW) is a private, non-profit organization that protects the rights of people with disabilities statewide. Our mission is to advance the dignity, equality, and self-determination of people with disabilities. We work to pursue justice on matters related to human and legal rights. We provide free advocacy services to people with disabilities. Contact us for: • Disability rights information and referrals • Problem solving strategies for disability issues • Community education and training • Legal services for disability discrimination or violation of rights. We focus our legal resources on major cases which will improve service systems for people with disabilities. We exist because society and service systems are not always fair or responsive to people with disabilities. We work for change in policies, laws and systems that promote: • Freedom from abuse and neglect • Legal rights and responsibilities • Adequately funded supports and services • Communities that involve everyone DRW is governed by a Board of Directors with help from our Advisory Councils. These groups are made up of people with disabilities, family members and others who have an interest in disability rights. If you would like more information, please contact us. Interpreters are available if needed. Visit us on the web: http://www.disabilityrightswa.org Visit our Rooted in Rights project: http://www.rootedinrights.org
