Overview

Disability Rights Arizona (DRAZ), University of Arizona Sonoran Center for Excellence in Disabilities and the Arizona Statewide Independent Living Council (AZSILC) are proud to announce the 2027 Virtual African American Conference on Disabilities (AACD). It is the premiere comprehensive disability conference in the United States that addresses the intersection between race and disabilities. Since launching our virtual format in 2021, we have welcomed attendees from across Arizona, nearly every U.S. state, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Canada, Africa, and Europe—each joining to learn, engage, and ask important questions on a wide range of disability issues.

We are bringing the in-person conference back on June 11th, 2027, in Phoenix Arizona! We must raise $100,000 to ensure a successful In-Person AACD, and we urgently need your support to reach this goal. The 2027 Virtual Conference will be fully supported by the generous donations and contributions from individuals, organizations/agencies, and businesses.
