DFW for All

DFW for All believes that disability justice is an essential part of building safe and sustainable communities for all. We know that access is the bare minimum to ensure that the voices of disabled people are not only heard but acted upon. We are fighting to:

- Expand emergency shelter services with protections for high risk groups, specifically for people with disabilities, undocumented residents, youth, and LGBT+ communities.

- Expand public transit services to be reliable, accessible, free, and net-zero emissions.

- Update zoning plans and decision making processes to prioritize walkability within cities, increase accessibility for people with disabilities, and protect residents from environmental hazards.

- Develop a comprehensive emergency response plan with standards that ensure the protection of the most vulnerable communities, specifically youth, people of color, and people with disabilities, LGBT+ communities, and all people regardless of immigration status during times of disasters, health care crisis, and other emergencies.

- Continue to train and dispatch community care workers, mental health crisis response teams, and de-escalation first responders in routine patrols, 911 calls, and emergency situations, and invest in non-police forms of emergency response (i.e. CAHOOTS).

DFW para todos cree que la justicia de discapacidad es una parte esencial en la construcción de comunidades seguras y sostenibles para todos. Sabemos que el acceso es indispensable para garantizar que las voces de las personas discapacitadas no solo sean escuchadas, pero que también se actúe en consecuencia. Luchamos por:

- Ampliar los servicios de transporte público para que sean confiables, accesibles, gratuitos y con cero emisiones.

- Actualizar los planos de zonificación y los procesos de toma de decisiones para priorizar la accesibilidad para peatones dentro de las ciudades, aumentar la accesibilidad para las personas con discapacidades y proteger a los residentes de los peligros ambientales.

- Desarrollar un plan integral de respuesta a emergencias con estándares que aseguren la protección de las comunidades más vulnerables, específicamente los jóvenes, las personas de color, las personas con discapacidades, las comunidades LGBT + y todas las personas independientemente de su estatus migratorio durante tiempos de desastres, crisis de atención médica y otras emergencias.

- Continuar capacitando y enviando trabajadores de atención comunitaria, equipos de respuesta a crisis de salud mental y socorristas de desescalada en patrullas de rutina, llamadas al 911 y situaciones de emergencia, e invertir en formas de respuesta de emergencia no policiales (es decir, CAHOOTS)
