"People need to see what we can do. For years people shoved us away, put us in institutions, now we are here in the community. We want people to know what we can do."
- Astra Milberg
Welcome to Communities of Power!
Communities of Power is a source of information about issues of importance in Michigan's Disability Community! It is also an invitation to you to participate in making our communities accessible, integrated, and supportive - to make full citizenship for seniors and people with disabilities an expectation, not a goal.
Communities of Power is maintained by the Michigan Disability Rights Coalition (MDRC). We invite you to join us! For more information about MDRC please go to: About MDRC. We also have a regular email newsletter which is on-line at: MDRC News.
MDRC Works to Increase Diversity
MDRC believes it is important to create a disability movement that is inclusive of all people and their many identities. Creating this type of movement takes a lot of time, education, self-analysis, and commitment. We know that we here at MDRC still have a lot to learn ourselves. Because of this, we hope that you can help teach us. Please take a moment to provide us with feedback on your experiences with MDRC.
- What are we doing that is working?
- What isn't working?
- How can we create a welcoming environment for you and your communities?
- Are there specific suggestions or strategies that you would like to share with us to help us build an inclusive disability movement?
All responses can be sent anonymously using our online survey . If you would like to talk with us or would like a response, please call us at 1-800-760-4600 ext. 316 or email your responses to mdrc@prosynergy.org.
Thank you for helping us work to improve our services to you and to create a community where nobody is excluded!
