SAFE seeks to extend our concern for the rights of disabled persons to other people groups as well. We hope that as time passes, more and more people groups will work together to share advocacy techniques and support one another in our mutual quest for equal rights. While we realize that organizations below may have conflicting objectives, we have chosen them based on their record of supporting the particular people groups they are geared towards rather than all of the causes they support. Moreover, many of these organizations concern themselves with more than one issue listed on this page.
