The Minnesota Council on Disability (MCD) supports and promotes public policy goals that positively impact the lives of people with disabilities. We help policymakers understand how their decisions affect the disability community and bring together members of the government and the public to comment on legislation.

Engaging with Government
Let MCD help you find your elected representatives and engage them to advance policy goals for Minnesotans with disabilities.

Notice: Due to concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, the Minnesota Legislature is operating differently. The Minnesota Council on Disability will post legislative updates as timely as possible.

MCD’s policy work revolves around three core values: accessibility, equity, and independence. Learn more about the specific state legislative bills and policies that we are championing.
