Jump to: navigation, search

A disability-rights activist or disability-rights advocate is someone who works towards the equality of people with disabilities. Such a person is generally considered a member of the disability-rights movement and/or the independent-living movement. Names on this list should be sourced and their notability should come at least partly from being disability-rights activists.
