- Support and recruit candidates who take a stand promoting equal opportunity, access, and full compliance with the ADA
- Promote education awareness and self sufficiency (especially employment) for persons with disabilities
- Encourage registration, voting, and full involvement of Democrats with disabilities in local, state and national elections (including running for office).
