REV UP Texas is working with the non-partisan, nonprofit, Register2Vote to count people with disabilities, and their families, friends and advocates, who register to vote using this custom REV UP Link above.

When we say POWER THE DISABILITY VOTE, we speak as people with all types of disabilities at all ages. We also include our friends, families, and advocates, as well as providers & professionals. Collectively, our nonpartisan vote will influence funding, legislation, and policies that empower us to live independently.
