Accessibility Project

The Accessibility Project fights for a world free of ableism by engaging in impact litigation, individual and systems advocacy, and education. We use these tools to focus on the intersection of race and disability to fight against incarceration, police brutality, and ableist discrimination.

Immigration Detention Accountability Project

The Immigration Detention Accountability Project (IDAP) works at the intersection of immigrant and disability justice. Through impact litigation, direct representation, and education, we fight for people in contact with our country’s ableist immigration system. Our project believes that immigration detention must be abolished.
