Raising Voices Coalition – A Collective Voice for People with Disabilities, Creating Lasting Change

At the heart of every great movement is a powerful voice—bold, compassionate, and unrelenting in its pursuit of justice. At Raising Voices Coalition, we believe that the most powerful change begins not in the halls of government or conference rooms, but around kitchen tables, in IEP meetings, at day programs, and in the hearts of families who simply want a better future.

We are disability change makers—a growing community of self-advocates, parents, caregivers, and professionals who are tired of systems that overlook or underestimate the needs of people with disabilities. Together, we are building something transformative: a collective movement where education meets action, and advocacy meets impact.

One Policy. One Family. One Person at a Time.

Real change happens when policies reflect the lived experiences of those they’re meant to serve. That’s why Raising Voices Coalition is committed to a mission rooted in personal empowerment and systemic transformation.

Our Mission:
We empower self-advocates and caregivers with the tools to advocate and lead. Through education, policy engagement, and coalition building, we champion movements that improve the quality of life and drive inclusive, community-based solutions.

Whether it's a family fighting for inclusive schooling, a young adult seeking meaningful employment, or a provider trying to navigate complex state systems, we walk alongside each voice, amplifying it into a chorus for change.

Arizona’s Leading Advocacy Hub for Disability Rights

In a state as diverse and dynamic as Arizona, we envision a future where no family has to navigate disability services alone, and no person with a disability is left behind due to outdated or inequitable policies.

Our Vision:
To become Arizona’s leading advocacy firm advancing inclusive, community-driven policy solutions across disability systems.

We’re not just reacting to the problems—we’re designing the solutions. By working directly with families, provider agencies, legislators, and allies, we’re shaping a new model for advocacy that centers dignity, equity, and belonging.
