Disabled people have the right to get help while voting!
We must address barriers that prevent disabled people from voting. These barriers include problems with requesting and receiving mail-in ballots, polling places with broken or no accessible machines, and poll workers with no training to assist disabled voters. Barriers like these can make it impossible for everyone to vote on election day.
Disabled people have the right to get help while voting. Talk to your protection & advocacy organization if you cannot get the help you need. Find your P&A at NDRN.org and visit DisabilityBelongs.org/Vote for additional resources.

The 2024 election is less than 35 days away!
The 2024 election is less than 35 days away! Voting is critically important, but if you want to get even more involved, one great option is to volunteer to be a poll worker. Disabled people know what accessibility measures work best, and by partnering in our communities, we can help ensure cultural competency best practices are the norm at polling places and beyond. Visit DisabilityBelongs.org/vote to learn how you can volunteer and make upcoming elections accessible.
A Network of Friends Remember Rabbi Emet Tauber
Emet Tauber was a queer, trans, disabled chronically ill Rabbi with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Around him formed a network of other queer and trans folks who were disabled and chronically ill. For this video, former Disability Belongs™ Faith Inclusion and Belonging Fellow Noah Strauss interviewed people who were part of the radical experiment in community care and mutual aid that was Emet's hospice room.
