Background: The Organizing Workgroup of the National Disability Leadership Alliance hosts these calls the third Tuesday of every month as a resource for disability organizers, in an effort toward building the organizing capacity of the disability community across the country. They generally include a welcome followed by 2-3 experts in a given area speaking for a few minutes on their experiences, advice, and challenges. The calls include a 20-30 minute question and answer period.
