Civil Rights are Disability Rights

As a disability rights organization, ASAN continually affirms both that people with disabilities are members of every marginalized group and that disability rights are civil rights. In doing so, we must also affirm that working within the disability rights movement requires us to join forces with our peers who are also members of other marginalized groups in the fight for justice for all. When oppression affects one of us, it affects us all. Disability rights are civil rights, and civil rights are disability rights.
