Our Mission

In 2025, our greatest influence is local. We must ensure that our local tax dollars are working for us here, as we cannot rely on federal funds with certainty at this time. How our city officials allocate our tax dollars will define the quality of life for years to come. Act now to ensure the budget for 2026 is a budget that protects our most vulnerable!

 

Join our campaign, Fund Disabled Detroiters, and help us push for life saving investments that benefit us all. These are our tax dollars, they should and must work for us! Since 2021, we've organized and shown up strong to demand overdue investments, and since then we've had tremendous success in securing funds specifically for disabled residents. This year, we're focusing on four key issues:

  • Housing–affordable and accessible homes, owned by Detroiters

  • Transit–accessible and reliable buses and ParaTransit

  • Public Spaces & Services–like fully funding the Office of Disability Affairs (ODA) at $1.4 million annually

 

Contact city officials today to ensure they budget with us in mind!
