Disability Rights Wisconsin is a private nonprofit organization founded in 1977 and based in Monona, Wisconsin. It participates in a national system of federally mandated independent disability agencies, aiming to protect the rights of state residents with disabilities through individual advocacy and efforts to drive systemic change. The organization operates independently of government and the broader disability service system to avoid conflicts of interest and to defend the rights and protections afforded to people with disabilities. Its work focuses on supporting individuals with disabilities in Wisconsin, addressing both personal advocacy needs and policy issues that affect access to services and protections. In June 2024, DRW and the Department of Health Services announced a potential leak of personal information involving the organization, highlighting ongoing privacy considerations alongside its advocacy activities.
