The disability community is one of the largest voter blocs in California. That means our voices matter — and being informed matters.

This non-partisan candidate interview series gives our community the opportunity to hear directly from those seeking to lead our state about their commitment to protecting the Lanterman Act and preserving vital disability services.

The conversation will be led by:
• Barry Jardini, Executive Director, California Disability Services Association
• Amy Westling, Executive Director, California ARCA - Association of Regional Center Agencies
• Nicole Adler, Human Rights Advocate and Speaker, Nicole For Love

As we head toward the June primary elections, it is our civic responsibility to understand each candidate’s priorities and plans. Join the conversation. Ask questions. Spread the word.

The next installment of the LantermanCoalition Conversations with Candidates for California Governor is this Friday, February 13 at 1:00 pm PST with former US Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra.

Hosted by the Lanterman Coalition, of which CalTASH is a member, this statewide forum series asks every candidate the same questions about how they will protect and strengthen the promise of the Lanterman Act—a landmark civil rights law that guarantees services and supports for Californians with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

In the face of federal changes and growing uncertainty, candidates will be asked how they plan to preserve California’s commitment to disability rights, essential services, dignity, and inclusion.

Each live webinar includes a Q&A, with the opportunity for attendees to submit questions.

*SPECIAL NOTE: ALL active candidates for California Governor have been invited to participate in the "Keeping California's Promise" interview series.
