TransparencyDisCO at the Capitol
California Disability Community Advocacy Conference
(DisCO) is back on May 18 and May 19, 2026!
In 2026, California’s disability community faces one of the most pivotal policy years in more than a decade. Proposed federal budget reductions could threaten essential services, community inclusion, and the supports that 500,000 Californians rely on to live safely and independently. At the same time, our community is mobilizing with renewed purpose and unity — and DisCo at the Capitol is where that momentum becomes action.
Schedule:
Monday, May 18, 2026, from 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm: Evening

Kick off the conference with an accessible, high-energy evening
