The Iowa Developmental Disabilities
(DD) Council launched the nonpartisan Iowans with Disabilities
in Action (ID Action) project because Iowans with disabilities
have been too long overlooked and underrepresented as a group.
ID Action is designed to increase the active participation of
Iowans with disabilities in political and civic opportunities
that promote positive change.
Since its launch in 2002, ID Action has grown from a visionary
concept to a vibrant statewide collaboration that includes more
than 9,000 registrants who are making a positive impact across
Iowa. From joining the local neighborhood association to
registering to vote or even running for office, people with
disabilities are taking notice and taking action.
According to the U.S. Census, there are more than 450,000 Iowans
with disabilities. If even a fraction of that number begins to
flex their political muscle, they can significantly influence
the environment in which we all live. Join ID Action today and
take advantage of life-changing opportunities that restore the
once-silent voice of Iowans with disabilities.
