DIA is a civil rights organization committed to ending discrimination against people with disabilities – all disabilities. We fight to eliminate the barriers that prevent us from enjoying full equality in American society. Founded in 1970, DIA is a democratic, not-for-profit, tax-exempt, all-volunteer membership organization. DIA consists primarily of and is directed by people with disabilities.
Nothing about us, without us!
