Disability Rights Are At Risk! ACT NOW!

Sign the Online Petition and tell Congress: Don’t Cut Vital Protection and Advocacy Systems.

Disability advocacy programs protect the health, safety, and well-being of people with disabilities and older adults – programs related to voting, community living, education, employment, mental health, and more.

Every voice matters. Every signature counts.

 

Donate What You Can – Every dollar helps keep Disability Rights New Jersey fighting for your rights!

Funding cuts will cost lives, increase abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation, while decreasing the ability of people with disabilities and older adults to be self-reliant and live in their community, with dignity and independence. These harmful cuts would severely impact services Disability Rights New Jersey can provide, and would devastate decades of work and progress that has transformed disability communities and advanced the rights of people with disabilities. Without funding, we cannot survive and the programs people with disabilities and older adults turn to when they need help will be gone, too.

The Sarah W. Mitchell Summer Public Interest Internship Program

Named for the founding Executive Director of Disability Rights NJ, the Sarah W. Mitchell Summer Public Interest Internship Program seeks to promote awareness of and commitment to careers in law and public interest which advance the human, civil, and legal rights of people with disabilities.

The Sarah W. Mitchell Summer Public Interest Internship provides internships each summer to law students and an undergraduate or graduate student in social work/human services or psychology field of study, where the student has a demonstrated interest working with individuals with disabilities.

The next cohort of interns will work alongside our staff attorneys and advocates to advance our mission and gain invaluable experience with a variety of legal and social issues, learning first hand what it means to advocate for people with disabilities in New Jersey.
