Disability Rights North Carolina advocates at the local, state and federal levels for sound policies and legislation that protect and expand the rights of persons with disabilities.

For more information on state and federal policies affecting people with disabilities, please follow us on our policy blog.

The best thing you can do to advocate for policies that further the rights of people with disabilities is to talk to the people who represent you in Raleigh and Washington, D.C.

The NC legislature is coming back into town after July 13 for a special session to address the following: redistricting; bills vetoed by the Governor (which is a growing list); Filling of vacancies on the State Board of Community Colleges; Bills in which the General Assembly makes an appointment or appointments to public office and which contain no other matter; Bills relating to election laws; and adoption of conference reports for bills which were in conference as of Saturday, June 18, 2011 and conferees had been appointed by both houses as of that date.
