Organizing Workgroup of the National Disability Leadership Alliance

The Organizing Workgroup of the National Disability Leadership Alliance (formerly JFAAN) hosts these calls the third Tuesday of every month as a resource for disability organizers, in an effort toward building the organizing capacity of the disability community across the country. They generally follow the format of a Welcome followed by 2-3 experts in a given area speaking for a few minutes on their experiences, advice and challenges. The calls include a 20-30 minute question and answer period.

To ask questions via CART: Sign-in to the Chat function on the right side of the transcript and type your question.  One of the call facilitators will read out any questions posted there.Because we want to maximize the generously donated CART services, we will begin the call promptly at 1:00pm and end the call promptly at 2pm (eastern time). A few other reminders about call etiquette:


·         Say your name before each time you speak
·         Speak one at a time
·         Speak slowly and as clearly as possible
