Strong civic engagement in communities is vital to the economic health and quality of life within a democracy. Community civic engagement and partnerships can identify local challenges and create solutions that represent that community’s values and interests.  \nHistorically, barriers to civic engagement have prevented people with disabilities, especially people of color with disabilities, from engaging in the public conversation about policy, rights, and access, which leads to decreased influence on policy decisions that directly impact their lives (Ho, Eaton, and Mitra, 2020). These barriers may be legal, physical, attitudinal, and informational in nature that prevent full participation in politics and community service.  \nIn the fall of 2020, IEL set out to learn more about the civic engagement interests and barriers to engagement and policy influence among DC residents who reflect the community. IEL reached out to a cross-section of residents who represented culturally and linguistically diverse young people with disabilities and their families. Through group listening sessions and one-on-one conversations, IEL gathered the perspectives, priorities, areas of interest, and observations from representatives of the highest poverty wards of DC (Wards 5-8), to ensure that the voices of those from marginalized communities were reflected in this document in order to create meaningful recommendations.  \nA Blueprint for Community Inclusion Strategies for Youth with Developmental Disabilities in Washington, DC provides a summary of comments and common themes among DC youth with disabilities and their families. This includes their top priorities, solutions to pressing issues, and ways that allies (individuals and organizations) can better support them.
