Advance Important Federal Advocacy Items for People w/ I/DD
Dear [Decision Maker],
The immediate needs of the disability community require your urgent attention and support after years of underfunded services.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. * Better pay and benefits for direct care workers, who perform a critical job but do not earn a living wage. * Access to high-quality and affordable childcare and early education for every family.These investments in disability services are long overdue--it's time funding kept pace with need. Please meet the promises of disability services begun 70 years ago so that all can participate in a more equitable future.
Thank you,
