We advocate for social justice for Coloradans with all types of disabilities.
The Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition, or CCDC, is Colorado’s premier disability rights advocacy organization. We are run by and for people with disabilities. We advocate for social justice for Coloradans with all types of disabilities. We strive for all Coloradans with disabilities to live full, equitable lives with equal access to any civic, professional, and/or personal opportunities that are available to people without disabilities.
At CCDC, we improve lives by improving Colorado’s systems.
We fight to make our state and local laws and policies meet the needs of Coloradans with disabilities.
In order to achieve our goals, we use multiple strategies including individual and systemic advocacy, education, leadership development, grassroots organizing, voter engagement, and litigation. Key to advancing our mission is the work we do with individuals, service providers, businesses, community organizations, and within all three branches of Colorado’s government.
Our goal is for all disabled Coloradans to be able to lead full lives with equitable access to any opportunities available to our non-disabled peers.
Our “cross-disability” approach
We believe people with different types of disabilities have more in common than not, and we have the most power when we work together for a common good. With this in mind, our “cross-disability” approach means we advocate with and on behalf of people who have any and all types of disability. We believe that our voices are more powerful when we raise them together as a community. Our community is inclusive of people who have physical, psychological, cognitive, sensory, and/or intellectual disabilities, and those disabilities may be acquired or congenital, hidden or visible, temporary or permanent, episodic or chronic, and range from mild to severe. We fight for the rights of all Coloradans who have disabilities, no matter the nature of their disability.
