How We Work

The experiences of people directly affected by unjust laws and policies drive CoRA’s agenda and inform the work we do as a coalition. Accordingly, we seek to fulfill our mission of eradicating barriers to full community membership through a variety of approaches, including the following:

• Drafting and advocating for legislation to change state and local laws, often in collaboration with other organizations and directly impacted people;

• Advocating to state and local administrative agencies, through written correspondence and/or meetings, to change administrative rules and policies;

• Providing our expertise to policy-makers, elected officials, and other groups; and

• Supporting litigation in which our various coalition members and other advocates and service providers are engaged.
