Disability Rights Oregon (DRO) advocates for the legal rights of people with disabilities. Using outreach, education, information & referrals, individual case work, administrative advocacy and litigation, we help individuals who have an issue related to their disability. DRO is the state’s Protection & Advocacy System.
Yes, we very much need your financial support; but there are many other ways to get involved in our work. For example, hosting an event, inviting a Disability Rights expert to speak at your next meeting, volunteering at DRO, contacting your legislators, and more.
