WELCOME!

DRNM is the new name of the organization formerly known as Protection and Advocacy System (P&A).  In 2009, in conjunction with the celebration of its 30th anniversary, P&A changed its name to Disability Rights New Mexico. We believe the new name quickly and clearly tells the story of who we are and what we do.

DRNM is still the designated protection and advocacy program for the state of New Mexico. Our mission remains the same: to promote, protect and expand the legal and civil rights of persons with disabilities.

Over the past 30 years, we’ve been involved in about every major policy issue in the state that affects persons with disabilities, often in a leadership role, and we’ve helped thousands of New Mexicans to access services or resolve other problems related to their disability. As DRNM, we look forward to working with you to address the issues and concerns currently facing New Mexicans with disabilities.
