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.

This is not a distant policy issue. It is already impacting real people.

Across California, individuals who rely on these services are facing delays, reduced access, and growing uncertainty. Programs that build independence, provide training, and create community are under increasing pressure.

We cannot stay silent.

Why We’re Taking Action
We are organizing a Day of Action in Sacramento on May 26 to ensure that decision-makers understand what is at stake.

We are calling for:

• A better balance between community-based services and system-based funding
  Timely access for individuals with the highest need
  Greater transparency around waitlists and service availability
• This is about protecting access, not just for one program or one organization, but for the broader community

Why Your Voice Matters
Legislators make decisions based on what they hear and who shows up.

When people share their stories, when communities stand together, it changes outcomes.

Whether you are directly impacted, a family member, a supporter, or someone who believes in access and independence, your presence matters.

What to Expect
Participants will travel together to Sacramento, meet with legislators and their staff, and help communicate the real impact of these funding changes.

No prior advocacy experience is needed. We will provide guidance, talking points, and support throughout the day.

Join Us
We are providing free transportation from San Francisco for the first 40 people to sign-up.: SIGN UP HERE!

This Moment Matters
Decisions are being made now that will shape access to services for years to come. Showing up is one of the most powerful things we can do.

Join us on May 26 and help ensure these services remain strong, accessible, and available to those who need them most.
