About Us
What we do:
The King County Disability Consortium amplifies the voices of people with disabilities in our community. We are a cross-disability coalition of individuals with disabilities, along with organizations and agencies that represent and advocate for the disability community. We believe people with disabilities have valuable input to contribute and can help solve societal issues that affect them.
Who we are:
The King County Disability Consortium is a coalition of individuals and organizations working to confront inequity and drive systemic change for the disability community. Formed in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we launched our work to ensure people with disabilities were included in the pandemic response as recipients of aid and as critical advisors to local municipalities. Our founding member organizations are the Arc of King County, Disability Empowerment Center and Lifelong. We currently have more than 80 members who meet monthly.
