What makes DRA worth investing in this giving season? Our impact. Because of DRA in 2025:
Chicago will install thousands of life-saving accessible pedestrian signals;
Baltimore will increase access to the City’s curb ramps and sidewalks;
The California Department of Health Care Services will provide Medi-Cal notices in accessible formats for people who are blind and have low vision who cannot read standard print; and
Hunter’s Point Library in Long Island City has made significant changes to ensure visitors with mobility disabilities are able to visit, benefit from, and enjoy.
This is just the tip of the iceberg for DRA’s impact in 2025. Read our 2025 annual report and view our 2025 case highlights video for more. DRA’s work is saving lives, transforming streetscapes and public and private institutions, and enabling equity.

Continue to fight to ensure safe and accessible sidewalks in the City of Chicago;
Proceed with our case challenging the unlawful use of solitary confinement of incarcerated New Yorkers with disabilities;
Hold Harvard University accountable for its systemic violation of the rights of students with mental health disabilities;
Ensure travelers with mobility disabilities can get to airports using SuperShuttle alongside their non-disabled peers; and the list goes on!
