According an email that the Massachusetts ARC sent out this week, over four hundred individuals with disabilities, family members, staff and friends gathered at the Grand Staircase at the State House to rally and speak out against the DDS and DMH budget cuts. That is a great turnout and sends a clear message to our legislators.
Besides the ARC, kudos also need to go out to the following statewide disability advocacy organizations for supporting and spreading the word about the rally: The Association of Developmental Disabilities Providers (ADDP), Massachusetts Families Organizing for Change (MFOFC), Advocates for Autism of Massachusetts (AFAM) Mass Advocates Standing Strong (MASS) and Mass Down Syndrome Congress (MDSC).
Thank you for getting the word out there and showing our legislators what “Parent Power” is all about!
