Sponsored by Jewish Federations of North America, Jewish Disability Advocacy Day is a day of education, advocacy, and empowerment in support of people with disabilities.  

Join JDAD (Jewish Disability Advocacy Day) to come together virtually from diverse communities across North America to harness our collective power and break down barriers to opportunity and inclusion. Help advance policies that will empower millions of individuals with disabilities to lead more independent and fulfilling lives. Together, learn, take action, and be inspired!
