LPA's Commitment  - Supporting All of Us for Each of Us

Little People of America (LPA) is fully committed to creating a more just, equitable and diverse organization for people of short stature.   We also recognize that advocacy for one marginalized group is inherently connected to advocacy for others.  

We believe that expanding protections for one group does not diminish the rights of others but instead strengthens protections for all. Systems that seek to remove protections and freedoms of one community, can and will impact the freedoms of all minority communities. The dwarfism community– regardless of whether you also identify yourself in the broader disabled community– is a minority group we all are invested in. We also acknowledge that for those who are a part of multiple minority groups, like people of color, individuals facing financial difficulties, immigrants/refugees, LGBTQIA+ people, and individuals with multiple disabilities, this risk is even more dire.
