Disability is the only minority group anyone can become a member of at any time. In fact, if you’re lucky enough to grow old, you will experience some degree of disability.

Let’s make sure disability rights matter to everyone — now.

DRAZ CEO, J.J. Rico, recently spoke with "The Show" at KJZZ on the White House's Executive Order on Mental Health and Homelessness. He says this order is a blatant attack on people with serious mental illness.

Congress is threatening to slash funding to the very network—including DRAZ—that protects the rights of people with disabilities.

Without funding, who holds systems accountable?

Tell Congress: Fully fund the P&A network: https://t.co/KGs6UMwQPF

The bill is scheduled for a final vote in the U.S. House TOMORROW. Almost 2 million Arizonans rely on Medicaid for essential healthcare and services through AHCCCS. There’s nothing “beautiful” about this bill.

Arizona members of Congress must vote NO.

The "big, beautiful bill" hit a major hurdle yesterday - but they're not stopping.

The House already passed $800 BILLION in Medicaid cuts. Now, the Senate is trying to get them over the finish line.
