Virtual Workshop TOMORROW! Are you a renter with a disability in California and have questions about evictions? Learn about your rights in this workshop! Register at the link: www.disabilityrightsca.org/events/evict...

We're celebrating the 58 years of the Special Olympics! The very first games were held on July 20, 1968 in Chicago, Illinois. Over 1,000 athletes with intellectual disabilities from 26 states and Canada came together to publicly demonstrate the importance of sports in the disability community!

This Disability Pride Month and anniversary, we celebrate the access adaptive sports have provided to the community. People with disabilities belong in all spaces, including sports! Sports activities promote teamwork, community, and physical and mental wellness. Most of all, they’re fun!

DRC joined the Sacramento Pride March and Parade to celebrate the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, and two-spirit communities and culture. We had an incredible time sharing DRC's advocacy work, connecting folks with resources, and joining in pride festivities!

We are pleased to announce AB 1676 (Stefani) has been pulled from this year's legislative session! Thanks to all who made their voices heard in opposition to this bill. #DisabilityRightsCA #AB1676 #BillUpdate #Treatment

Together we made it clear that involuntary medication is dangerous, harmful, and counter to what we really need: mental health supports that are voluntary, community-based, peer-led, culturally competent, person-centered, and trauma-informed.
