Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement

Last Updated: July 25, 2025

Disability is part of being human. There are disabled people of all races, ethnicities, national origins, ages, genders, gender identities, sexual orientations, languages, religions, and incomes. Disability barriers and ableism hurt all people with disabilities. But people with disabilities who face more than one type of oppression experience worse discrimination, segregation, and exclusion.

DREDF cares about diversity, equity, and inclusion. We promise to make a work culture of inclusion and belonging so that we can better help all people in the disability community. We promise to support a workplace that shows the diversity of our community, and that respects and cares about all people. We promise to do disability rights work that focuses on disabled people who live at the connection of disability and other identities that have been marginalized.

We will continue to learn and improve. We are currently updating our demographic data and our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement. We will share it here when it is ready. We welcome your thoughts about this statement by contacting us.
