Your donation to Upstream Access directly supports our mission to build a resilient cross-disability community in Oregon and Southwest Washington. Every contribution enables disabled people to thrive through programs celebrating disability as a culture and a source of creative strength. Your support helps fund essential programs that:

1. Strengthen Community Connections: We create inclusive spaces for disabled community members to come together, share their experiences, and build lasting support networks. From monthly in-person training to virtual meetups, your donation fosters community and builds social connections, which combats isolation.
2. Enhance Emergency Preparedness: Your gift provides accessible resources, solar-powered items, and person-centered conversation so that people can personalize their plans and kits. These community connections and resources help build resilience and readiness.
3. Promote Disability Justice: Donations fuel our disability justice initiatives, including online spaces for discussing ableism and creating actionable change. This supports advocacy, dismantles stigma and discrimination, and amplifies voices often left out of mainstream conversations.

By donating, you’re investing in a future where all disabled people can participate fully, confidently, and joyfully in their communities. Together, we’re building a culture of resilience, advocacy, and equity that will have a lasting impact.

Thank you for helping make this vision a reality!
