“Disability Rights California is pushing for our state to be a leader on a range of issues from ending solitary confinement to ensuring equity in the distribution of government-funded services and supports.

We’re participating in Giving Tuesday

Celebrated the Tuesday after U.S. Thanksgiving, Giving Tuesday was created to encourage people to do good. Over the past 10 years, this idea has grown into a global movement where millions of people show up and give back to causes and issues that matter. The goal is to create a wave of generosity that lasts beyond that day and makes an impact.

Volunteering is Fundamental

With over 300 employees across California, DRC wants to empower our employees to give back to their communities.

To support this effort, DRC offers all full time and part-time employees 7.5 hours of paid time off each year to volunteer. DRC believes that volunteering enriches the lives of our employees and the places they call home.
