For six decades ADA has been unique in providing liberal leadership in the nation. We have organized other groups into united action on civil rights and civil liberties, environmental protection, economic equality for all, and many other issues. ADA has successfully lobbied Congress to support key liberal votes and built an extensive network of grassroots activists who effectively seek change in local communities. Whether it is extending city benefits to domestic partners, fighting for economic policies that benefit every American, creating responsible foreign and military policy and more, ADA members take the lead.

An ADA chapter will give your community a liberal voice. Chapters serve as vehicles for political action within the community and organize grassroots support for national ADA efforts. Chapters endorse and support candidates for municipal and state offices, often urging one of their members to enter a campaign to further ADA programs. ADA chapters give progressive programs the visibility they need and educate the public on issues.
