Profile
The Coalition for Citizens with Disabilities is a private not-for-profit disability organization formed in Mississippi in 1989 made up of Mississippians with disabilities (children, youth, and adults) and their families regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, nationality, economic status or religion, organizations that represent or advocate for people with disabilities, professionals who work in disability-related fields, and other interested citizens.
“Opening Doors Together” The Coalition’s motto relates two important messages:
1. That the Coalition strives to “open” opportunities or resources necessary to permit persons with disabilities to overcome or otherwise compensate for any barrier that may exist.
2. That “together” (meaning all people with disabilities and their families) we can surmount any problem that the system has created.
Our Vision: The Coalition for Citizens with Disabilities is guided by the vision that one day, all people will live, work, learn and play in a community based on abilities not disabilities.
