August 2020: ANNOUNCEMENT OF THREE (3) JOB OPENINGS

        AT DETROIT DISABILITY POWER

Detroit Disability Power (DDP) is a membership organization that works to
build the organizing power of the disability community to ensure the full
inclusion of people with disabilities in Metro Detroit. We are people with
disabilities organizing together to dismantle structural and cultural
challenges facing us in housing, employment, education, transportation,
healthcare and more.

DDP is committed to engaging with people across diverse disabilities,
including chronic illness, as well as other important identities; DDP's
power- building efforts will always be with an intersectional lens and with
attention to race, class, gender, sexual orientation, citizenship status,
religion, and other aspects of our lives.

Currently (as of August 6, 2020), DDP has three open job postings to hire
motivated, talented people for our team.

relationships with community leaders, with a focus on the Metro Detroit
