Congress is planning next year’s budget, and cuts to important programs for people with disabilities are being considered. These programs help protect rights, support students in school, and make sure people with disabilities can live and participate in their communities. Tell your members of Congress to fully fund disability services and education! http://bit.ly/3VlnPEK

It’s Disability Voting Rights Week!
Voting is a fundamental right, and barriers at polling places—whether physical or procedural—undermine democracy.

Many polling places fall short for people with disabilities.
Examples include:
• No curbside voting signage
• No accessible parking.
• Confusing pathways and entrances.
• Staff lacks training on how to use accessible voting machines
