This document discusses building a common cause network to promote inclusion, opportunities, and outcomes for people with disabilities. The key elements are for groups to join forces around common causes, which can be temporary or long-term coalitions. They work as one voice on important issues impacting many people. Components of the network include community/regional planning, leadership development, policy influence, technology, facilitation, coalition building, and measurable outcomes. Challenges may include a lack of leadership, follow through from partners, or support for members.
