DRLC is proud to house the nation’s oldest disability rights program. The Civil Rights Litigation Program invests in otherwise neglected communities by creating access. These cases aim to create lasting changes that benefit the entire community, reshape attitudes and perceptions, and influence future policies, procedures, and structures to effect change across the country.

DRLC’s Cancer Legal Resource Center addresses legal issues faced by people with cancer, whose needs are unique in the disability community. Through its national telephone assistance line, outreach programs, and community activities, the Cancer Legal Resource Center (CLRC) has reached more than half a million cancer-affected individuals since its creation in 1997.
