We need our disability community, special needs families, caregivers, advocates, and supporters to SHOW UP and let your voices be heard!

The City of Killeen ADA Transition Plan has the potential to help improve accessibility, inclusion, parks, recreation, sidewalks, public spaces, and community opportunities for individuals with disabilities throughout our city.

Now is the time for our community to speak up in support of accessibility initiatives and funding connected to this plan.

🗓 City Council Meetings:
📍 Killeen City Hall
🕒 3:00 PM
• July 7th
• July 21st

If you live, work, visit, or raise a family in Killeen, your voice matters.

We often say we want change, more inclusion, and better accessibility for our families — this is one of those moments where community presence truly matters.

You do not have to give a long speech.
Simply showing up makes a difference.

Let’s show our city that accessibility matters and that ALL abilities deserve to be included in the future of Killeen. 💙💚
