A few members of our group recently attended Asher's Celebration of Life gathering in honor of a former member who recently passed. The vibes were nothing but positive as all of his family, friends and acquaintances channeled his A+ take on life!🕊🥁✊

We kicked off summer 2025 with a presentation from a Vivistim rep for this year's June meeting. Learning all about the wonders their device does AND the positive results obtained via their case studies sure helped keep us engaged!

Our group held its annual Spring Picnic a couple of weeks ago. We still can't decide which was better: gathering with friends alike, the weather, OR the A+ food from Boxcar Betty's.

One thing is for sure... no one left without a laugh, a smile on their face and a FULL belly!😂☺️🤤

HOW TO HELP SAVE THE CHILDREN, ELDERLY AND ALL OF DISABLED RESIDENTS OF SC:

Contact your representatives - Call or email your local and federal representatives to express your opposition to the dismantling of ACL and encourage them to STOP this from happening.

Share your story - If you or a loved one benefits [OR you feel that you one day might] from ACL-funded programs, share your experience with policymakers to demonstrate the real-life impact of these services.

Spread the word - Share this message with friends, family, and social networks to raise awareness about the importance of ACL for South Carolina.

ACT NOW! Protect seniors, veterans, & people with disabilities! ACL's programs serve one in three disabled and one in five aging South Carolinians, providing support that allows people to remain in their homes and communities, avoiding institutionalization and saving taxpayers money.

TAKE ACTION: ablesouthcarolina.salsalabs.org/aclthreatmarch2025

We urge all South Carolinians to stand up and protect the Administration for Community Living (ACL). The dismantling of this agency would directly impact critical services that help people with disabilities and older adults live independently, stay out of institutions, and contribute to their communities.

Here’s how you can help:

Contact your representatives: Call or email your local and federal representatives to express your opposition to the dismantling of ACL and encourage them to STOP this from happening. Use our action alert: ablesouthcarolina.salsalabs.org/aclthreatmarch2025

Share your story: If you or a loved one benefits from ACL-funded programs, share your experience with policymakers to demonstrate the real-life impact of these services.

Spread the word: Share this message with friends, family, and social networks to raise awareness about the importance of ACL for South Carolina.

Your voice is essential in ensuring that ACL continues to support our communities. Stand/sit with us—stand/sit with South Carolina—and help preserve the freedom of choice, independence, and local control that ACL provides.

Trigger Warning: Discussion of ableist language and disability discrimination
Response to President Trump’s Remarks on FAA Hiring and Disability Inclusion
Today, in a press conference at the White House, President Trump attempted to link the tragic plane crash in Washington, D.C., to vital efforts aimed at hiring individuals with disabilities. While the disability community finds this statement extremely dangerous, we know that disability rights are nonpartisan, and all communities should be alarmed. Implying that hiring people with disabilities compromises safety fuels harmful stigma against a group that already faces the highest unemployment rate in America. Read our full statement to get the complete perspective: https://www.able-sc.org/resource-library/position/response-to-president-trumps-remarks-on-faa-hiring-and-disability-inclusion/
