New legislation introduced in Congress would strengthen U.S. efforts to advance disability rights globally and improve accessibility within the State Department. The State Department Disability Policy and Accommodations Act would establish a dedicated Office of International Disability Rights, expand training for diplomatic personnel, and improve accessibility for staff with disabilities and their families. Disability rights are civil rights — at home and around the world. Integrating disability into foreign policy and global engagement helps ensure people with disabilities are fully included in all aspects of society. We will share updates as this bill moves forward.

Take Action to Protect Voting Rights for People with Disabilities!

Congress is considering several bills that would change federal voter registration requirements, including the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act and the SAVE America Act. These bills would require many voters to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship, such as a passport or birth certificate, when registering to vote. While framed as election security measures, these bills could create new barriers to voter registration, particularly for disabled people. If Congress fails to oppose these bills, there could be significant consequences for voters with disabilities. Contact your Members of Congress today and urge them to oppose these bills.

Happy National Caregivers Day! Caregivers come in many forms. Whether you're assisting a loved one with daily tasks, acting as a caregiving professional, or offering help to someone with a disability, a chronic health problem, or declining health due to aging - your support makes a big difference.

While we hope you feel seen and appreciated for all you do, we know that caregiving can be both rewarding and demanding. Taking care of yourself is just as important as the care you provide. Check out our website for resources that can support you as a caregiver: https://www.oregon.gov/odhs/aging-disability-services/pages/caregivers.aspx
