Disability Communities Defending Democracy (DCDD)

Disability Communities Defending Democracy (DCDD) is a new organization, founded in 2025. DCDD works to defend and grow inclusive democracy. We work to help disability communities get the skills they need to promote inclusive democracy. This also means we help disability communities work against anti-democracy movements. Anti-democracy movements want to make democracy less inclusive or get rid of democracy. Anti-democracy movements want to make disability community spaces less inclusive. We do our work through education, information and resource referral, community partnerships, and other kinds of support to disability communities.

Disability Communities Defending Democracy is fiscally sponsored by the Western States Center (WSC). This means we are a separate organization from WSC, but DCDD pays a fee to WSC for support with managing and growing our organization.
