Disability Rights Oregon

📣 Big news for our I/DD community: our Listening Sessions are going virtual in 2026!

If you have intellectual and/or developmental disabilities and are 18 or older, we want to hear directly from you. What's working for you in Oregon? What isn't? Your lived experience is powerful, and it shapes the work we do every day.

Going virtual means it's easier than ever to join. No travel, no barriers, just your voice and your story.

🔗 Registration links and session dates are coming soon. To make sure you're the first to know, subscribe to our newsletter at droregon.org/subscribe and we'll send the details straight to your inbox.

We can't wait to connect with you! Know someone who should be part of this? Tag them or share this post so no one misses out.

Your opinion matters. Whether you're rallying for accessible infrastructure, inclusive employment, or basic dignity, you have the constitutional right to make your views heard through peaceful protest.

That said, knowing your rights before you go is just as important as showing up. Law enforcement can place certain narrow restrictions on how and where protests happen, but they cannot silence the message. Understanding those boundaries keeps you safer and makes the disability rights movement stronger.

We've put together a Know Your Rights Guide covering what protections you have, what police are permitted to do, and how to exercise your voice with confidence.
