Our Story
Disability Justice is a nonprofit civil rights organization. Our team of advocates, attorneys, and investigators forms Colorado’s Protection and Advocacy system.
Over the last 50 years, we’ve led the fight for equality and inclusion — recognizing, in Dr. King’s words, that “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Our goal: to make Colorado the best place in America for people with disabilities to live, work, and thrive.

Our Impact
More than one million Coloradans live with a disability. We seek justice for all.
Between 2021 and 2025, we conducted 112 interviews with children confined to the Colorado Division of Youth Services — research that triggered a federal lawsuit to protect them.
In 2025, we served 2,957 individuals with physical disabilities, intellectual and developmental disabilities, serious mental illness, and traumatic brain injuries.
In 2024, a statewide settlement — driven by our complaint — required housing support and services for 7,256 nursing-home residents and 50,000 Coloradans at risk of institutionalization.
