Disability Rights Washington (DRW) is a private nonprofit organization that protects the rights of people with disabilities in the state. Every year, Disability Rights Washington requests feedback on our advocacy priorities. DRW’s Board of Directors, along with DRW’s Mental Health and Disability Advisory Councils, want to know what you think DRW should advocate for. The advisory councils will review your input and suggest ideas to the Board. The Board will also get input from DRW staff and will decide our final advocacy priorities. These priorities guide what our staff works on throughout the year. You can learn about our current priorities here.
