YOUR ACTION IS NEEDED TODAY!!!!

FIRST ALERT VIRTUAL RALLY

June 18th from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

We need to flood the Capitol with phone calls to be sure that funding for people with disabilities is in the Governor’s Budget!

Here’s what to say:

Hello my name is __________________.

I am a person with a disability (e.g. developmental, intellectual, autism, physical disability.)
I have a family member with a disability.
I work with people who have disabilities.

This funding proposed by the Governor in February must be restored:

Community services for persons with intellectual disability so that 1,100 people can come off the emergency wait list
Funding for 100 individuals with autism
Funding to expand “Jobs for All” – on the job training for young people
2% increase for Special Education – the first increase in six years
Restoration of the 10% cut from the Human Services Block Grant
Restoration of $1.2 million in community base funding

Finish by saying, “Funding for people with disabilities is desperately needed, thank you.”

Be the squeaky wheel and be heard!

As you know, funding for people with disabilities is desperately needed and often overlooked.
