Become a Project Access Partner

Respecting individuality. Honoring diversity. Celebrating community.

The Project Access for All – Disability Unite platform and community is grounded in the values of mutual aid, shared responsibility, and equity. Each community partner contributes what they can — whether amplifying the message through their networks, partnering in events and initiatives, through resource-sharing, or by offering leadership, creativity, and support.

We invite you to join us as a partner — with or without a financial contribution.

Sign-up is at the bottom of this page.

As a community consortium, “we” includes all people and all community organizations — and that means you. Whether you are an individual, nonprofit, artist, government agency, educator, advocate, or service provider, you have a place in this movement.

Take on a leadership role. Volunteer. Host an accessible event online. Start something new in your neighborhood. Share what you’ve learned. Connect with others doing the same.

Together, we can enrich our own lives and model the inclusive, interdependent, and thriving communities we all deserve.

United for Justice

Our communities are diverse — across race, ethnicity, nationality, age, gender, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, and disability identity. What we share is a common message. To quote from messaging created in 2020 by Victor Calise, former NYC Commissioner for People with Disabilities and Matt Axel, Disability Unite Director :

"We are loud. We are proud. We vote.
And we will work together to make ourselves known."

Through Project Access, we build bridges between the disability community and our non-disabled allies — in action, education, policy, and culture. We believe access is a collective responsibility, and justice is a shared goal.

Together, We Rise

Our Working Group and Committees are making meaningful progress in celebrating access, fostering inclusion, and creating long-term infrastructure for cultural equity.

But we can’t do it alone. We need your voice, your ideas, your presence.

As we prepare for the 35th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, we are organizing a powerful, cross-sector celebration for July’s Disability Pride Month — and building momentum far beyond it.

Join us to:

Take part in Disability Pride events and planning
Expand public awareness and civic engagement
Advocate for accessible public budgets and policies
Support one another through creativity and mutual aid
Build a visible, united, and unapologetic disability movement

Many Voices. One Vision.

We are many voices — each with unique stories, skills, and perspectives.
We are united by a shared vision:

Opportunity. Equality. Inclusion.

We believe every person has something vital to contribute.
We believe community is strongest when all of us are included.
We believe the time is now.
