All I Want Is You: Disability Inclusion in Action

Communities are stronger together; every voice matters and every act of allyship counts. Being an ally for equity, access, and inclusion isn’t just about intention—it’s about action. Join us in building communities where everyone belongs, and where barriers are broken down together.

Amplify Voices:

The more stories that can be shared, the more likely it is for someone to relate and feel that they’re not alone. That sense of self-identity can feel empowering! Allies make room for diverse perspectives to shape the community.

All I want is you to...

• ... listen to people with disabilities and trust that we are experts in our own experience.
• … read books or watch movies by people with disabilities and share what you learn with friends and family.
• … encourage your local library to stock books and resources about disability and inclusion.

Remove Barriers:

Advocate for resources, policies, and practices that ensure equitable access to opportunities for all.

All I want is you...

• ... to report when elevators in public buildings are not working, even if you don’t need to use them.
• … offer your skills to help make digital content accessible, such as adding captions to videos and writing ALT text for images.
• … to keep your neighborhood accessible for people using mobility aides by clearing snow from sidewalks and ensuring parking doesn’t block pathways.

Build Bridges:

Foster inclusive spaces where everyone feels respected, valued, and safe to be themselves.

All I want is you...

• ... to create inclusive spaces by ensuring accessibility when planning events.
• … to talk to your favorite local café about adding a ramp and accessible seating
• ... to use inclusive language and never use language that perpetuates ableism or stereotypes
