The U.S. Gender and Disability Justice Alliance is an organized group of people with disabilities who support the rights of women, nonbinary people,[1] transgender people,[2] and gender diverse[3]people with disabilities. The Alliance follows Disability Justice principles.[4] Alliance members are from all different parts of the United States and work together to act on issues important to our community.

[1]People who feel inside that they are neither a woman or a man.

[2] People whose personal sense of who they are is different than the sex they were assigned at birth.

[3]People whose personal sense of who they are does not fit common ideas about what it means to be a woman or a man.

[4] Disability justice centers the leadership and voices of disabled people who face multiple kinds of discrimination, such as disabled people of color. The 10 Disability Justice principles were created by Sins Invalid and can be found here: https://www.sinsinvalid.org/blog/10-principles-of-disability-justice
