October 6, 2022

The Disability Rights Ohio Board of Directors recently approved and adopted new mission, vision, and values statements as part of a larger overall visioning exercise to better define and understand the organization's work and purpose. 

Mission:

To advocate for an equitable Ohio for people with disabilities.

 

Vision:

Voices elevated. People empowered. Equity achieved.

 

Values:

JUSTICE AND DIGNITY

We believe that disability rights are human rights, and that people with disabilities should be free from harm, prejudice, and discrimination.

INFORMED LEADERSHIP

Those whom we represent — Ohioans with disabilities — direct all aspects of our organization.

UNWAVERING COMMITMENT

We embrace our role to protect and advocate, and we are driven by a desire to see all Ohioans with disabilities flourish.

FIERCE ADVOCACY

Our teams empower our constituents to make their own decisions, and to be vocal and
determined in their efforts, even when systemic forces create barriers.

ACCESS AND OPPORTUNITIES

We recognize that people with disabilities have many identities and are often forgotten. We
celebrate their uniqueness and seek to reduce disparities to ensure equitable resources for all.
