Let's Talk
Celebrating Stories That Bring Communities Together
Sharing Common Ground is more than a website—it is a welcoming, inclusive
space where stories, experiences, and voices come together to build
understanding. As an inclusive disability group for advocates,
caretakers, and individuals with disabilities, our mission is to uplift real
stories that spark connection, challenge misconceptions, and inspire meaningful
conversations. Every person’s journey matters, and here, each story becomes
part of a larger movement dedicated to compassion, awareness, and community
impact.
Highlighting Voices That Strengthen Disability Advocacy
Our platform is rooted in storytelling because stories have the power to
reshape perspectives and encourage deeper understanding. Whether you are part
of an inclusive disability group for caretakers, an advocate working to
make change, or someone exploring new ways to support the disability community,
Sharing Common Ground offers a space where experiences can be shared with
honesty and respect. By bringing forward the voices of everyday champions—families,
caregivers, disability advocates, and individuals with lived experience—we help
others see the diverse and powerful realities behind disability advocacy.
As an advocacy group for
disabilities, we aim to elevate the voices that are too often overlooked.
Through shared experiences, we hope to build bridges between communities,
expand awareness, and inspire people to take action in their own lives and
local areas.
Showcasing Podcasts That Inspire Learning and Connection
Our podcasts offer another way to learn, connect, and grow. Through
thoughtful conversations with disability advocates, caregivers, professionals,
educators, and individuals with disabilities, we explore real challenges,
celebrations, and life-changing experiences. These discussions shed light on
often misunderstood topics and help listeners gain meaningful insight into the
diverse realities within the disability community.
Each episode is created with the goal of fostering empathy and encouraging
deeper reflection. They serve as powerful tools for education, whether you are
already involved in a disability
advocacy group or are just starting to explore what advocacy means to you.
Encouraging Community Members to Share Their Stories
Your story matters—and Sharing Common Ground is here to make sure it is
heard. Our “Share Your Story” platform invites individuals, families, and
advocates to contribute their experiences and perspectives. Whether your story
focuses on triumph, struggle, identity, caregiving, or advocacy, it has the
potential to empower someone else who may be feeling alone or uncertain.
These shared narratives create a collective voice that strengthens our
community and expands the impact of our mission. Contributing your story is
also a meaningful way to support others, celebrate diversity, and highlight the
importance of an inclusive disability group that embraces every
experience.
Inviting You to Get Involved in a Movement That Matters
Sharing Common Ground thrives because of the people who come together to
support, educate, and advocate for inclusion. Whether you want to share your
story, listen to our podcasts, explore our resources, or learn more about
disability advocacy, there is a place for you here.
Our community-driven approach ensures that everyone—from advocates and
caretakers to individuals with disabilities and allies—can find a space where
they feel valued and heard. Together, we continue building a future where
understanding grows, barriers shrink, and everyone has the opportunity to live
with dignity and support.
