Advance Important Federal Advocacy Items for People w/ I/DD
Dear [Decision Maker],
For people with disabilities, federal funding creates the opportunity for a productive life of health, dignity and community inclusion. Funding for disability services is an equity issue with life and death consequences. I stand with people with disabilities, their families, support staff, and community partners. I request that you advance:
-Funding for programs that allow people with disabilities to live at home in their communities, without having to wait years to get the supports they need.
- #PaidLeaveForAll so workers don't have to risk losing their jobs when taking time off to care for a loved one.
-Investment in the pay and benefits for direct care workers, who perform critical work.
-Access to high-quality and affordable childcare and early education for every family.
Thank you,
