Disability Network of Mid-Michigan

Disability Network of Mid-Michigan We promote and encourage independence for all people with disabilities. Creating access and inclusion

We believe in what is known as the Independent Living Philosophy. The Independent Living philosophy postulates that people with disabilities are the best experts on their needs, and therefore they must take the initiative, individually and collectively, in designing and promoting better solutions and must organize themselves for political power. We believe that people with disabilities have the same right to participation, to the same range of options, degree of freedom, control and self-determination in every day life and life projects that other citizens take for granted. Thus, we as IL activists seek the removal of infrastructure, institutional and attitudinal barriers in our communities.

Today marks the 52nd anniversary of the landmark Rehabilitation Act of 1973 – the first major federal law to address discrimination against people with disabilities. It would be the precursor for future disibility rights protections, including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.

DNMM is committed to combating discrimination and fighting for equal opportunities for individuals with disabilities. To learn more, contact us at 989-835-4041 or info@dnmm.org.

Michigan DHHS' Medicaid Advisory Committee’s quarterly online meeting is tomorrow, 9/23, from 1:00-3:30. This meeting is important because it includes six members from the new Beneficiary Advisory Council – people with lived experience as Medicaid beneficiaries or caregivers.

The massive federal cuts to Medicaid force states to make cuts in their Medicaid programs, making stakeholder input more important than ever. Please join the online meeting!
