DAA's campaigns toolkit - focuses on campaigns organised by disabled people which promote our independence, equality of opportunity and full participation. Taking part in campaigns will increase members' confidence and independence and show disabled people as active community members.

Disabled People against Cuts - DPAC is about disabled people and their allies. DPAC is UK based but we know that disabled people in other countries are suffering from austerity cuts and a lack of fundamental rights. We welcome all to join us in fighting for justice and human rights for all disabled people.

We Know Inclusion Works - The 'We Know Inclusion Works' campaign, run by the Alliance for Inclusive Education, was launched in response to media hype about how ’damaging’inclusion is for disabled children and young people.

The Resistance Campaign - The Resistance Campaign, run by Not Dead Yet UK, seeks to encourage MPs (and others in positions of influence) to focus on enabling disabled and terminally people to live more comfortable, rewarding lives, rather than end them prematurely.
