WHO WE ARE

S.A.B.E. Self Advocates Becoming Empowered. The United States’ national self-advocacy organization. We are a national board of regional representatives and members from every state in the US.

WHAT WE BELIEVE IN

• People with disabilities should be treated as equals.
• People should be given the same decisions, choices, rights, responsibilities, and chances to speak up and empower themselves.
• People should be able to make new friendships and renew old friendships just like everyone else.
• People should be able to learn from their mistakes like everyone else.

OUR GOALS

• Make self-advocacy available in every state including institutions, high schools, rural areas, and people living with families with local support and advisors to help.
• Work with the criminal justice system and people with disabilities about their rights within the criminal justice system.
• Close institutions for people with developmental disabilities labels nationwide, and build community supports.
