Our Advocacy Campaigns

Our advocacy work is focused on a single principle: that putting disabled people in positions of power can transform the industry, influence policies, and ensure equitable representation for all.

Greenlight Disability

Over 25% of Americans have a disability, and collectively, $21 billion in discretionary income each year. Yet they remain a massively underserved audience on screen. Greenlight Disability is an initiative that showcases the value of entertaining disability films and TV shows by highlighting an untapped market of disabled audiences eager for entertaining content that resonates with their experiences. Investing in this highly lucrative market builds trust, satisfaction, and revenue, making the demands of this audience — which constitutes 1 billion globally — a compelling reason to greenlight disability.

Hire Disabled Writers

Disabled writers, directors, and actors can face a perpetual employment limbo in Hollywood – rarely considered for projects that don’t feature disability by studios and production companies, and when they are, are only sought out for consulting by those same entities. This leaves disabled creatives without agency over their own stories or careers. The Hire Disabled Writers Initiative is a multi-pronged effort designed to break down those employment barriers by providing both artists and the industry with equitable and innovative solutions that put more disabled people in positions of power.

The millions of people who make up the disabled community remain largely underrepresented in diversity, equity, and inclusion conversations within the film and television industry. The Disability is Diversity Campaign pressures entertainment industry players to explicitly include disability in every conversation and strategy. In the process, it aims to raise the profile of disability as an essential pillar of diversity while celebrating the diversity that exists within the disability community itself.
