🚨Calling all members and supporters of the disability communities in California! 🚨

Right now, critical services that support independence, employment, and community for people with disabilities are at risk.

A major shift in funding has moved resources away from community-based programs and into systems that do not reach everyone. At the same time, access within those systems is limited, leaving many people without the services they need.

Join LightHouse on Tuesday, May 26, as we take these issues to the steps of the Capitol building in Sacramento! We will be providing transportation services from LightHouse HQ in San Francisco and the Earle Baum Campus in Santa Rosa. For more detailed information, please visit: https://lighthouse-sf.org/we-need-you-protect-access-join-us-in-sacramento-on-may-26/

We cannot stay silent! Let's advocate for impactful positive change for disabled Californians together. 🦯🦽🦮
