Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition is a 501-c-3 charitable nonprofit organization established in 1990.  Its mission is to advocate for Social Justice for people with all types of disabilities.

Our Vision for Colorado:
Colorado will be the best place for people with disabilities to live because:

·         Colorado will have a strong array of community-based supports for people who need long-term services.  These supports will promote full participation by people with disabilities in the community supporting employment, civic engagement, and complete integration.  Supports will be provided in the most integrated and least restrictive setting and will always have options for client control.  People requiring services and supports will be able to move between levels of control and independence as their needs and conditions change.  The atmosphere for support services will be supportive and will promote personal responsibility in a positive manner.

·         Colorado will be the most accessible state in the nation in terms of public transportation, public accommodations and state and local government.

·         All branches of state and local government and their contractors will have effective communication protocols in place that are used and enforced.  Effective communication protocols will be accessible for people with any type of disability that impairs either receptive or expressive communication.

·         All governmental decision making regarding programs or services that is likely to have an impact on people with disabilities will be made with meaningful involvement by the disability community.

·         Colorado will have the highest percentage of people with disabilities who vote in the nation.

·         Colorado will have increasing numbers of people with disabilities employed each year.

·         Colorado will have a decrease each year in percentage of people with disabilities living in poverty.
