What is Disability Advocacy Day?
Disability Advocacy Day, or DAD, is a yearly event where people with disabilities, family members, professionals, and other advocates come together to learn about advocacy, Utah policy initiatives, and connect with one another and Utah State Representatives. DAD is a collaboration between the IDRPP, Utah Parent Center, Utah Developmental Disabilities Council, Utah Statewide Independent Living Council, Disability Law Center, Legislative Coalition for People with Disabilities, and ACLU Utah.

Participants toured a resource fair at the Utah State Capitol.
I felt it was my duty and my responsibility to help advocate for and be a voice for those who need a voice.
Really exciting to see a lot of people coming out to this place and sharing their stories.
