Disability Rights California Public Input Survey
Disability Rights California, California's Protection and Advocacy system, is a nonprofit agency that advocates, educates, investigates, and litigates to advance and protect the rights of Californians with disabilities. DRC envisions a barrier-free, inclusive, diverse world that values each individual and their voice. In this world, all people with disabilities enjoy the power of equal rights and opportunities, dignity, choice, independence and freedom from abuse, neglect, and discrimination.
Disability Rights California would like your input as they review and revise the priorities of their work for the next five years. DRC has
posted the public survey (in 11 threshold languages) to get input from the community about where the community feels DRC should be prioritizing work. This survey is open to all and we encourage you to share with your contacts as well.
