There is just over a month left of the 2013 Minnesota legislative session. State legislators will be making critical decisions about disability programs and services and setting the state budget for the next two years. Make sure your story and your voice is heard! Join hundreds of Minnesotans with disabilities, loved ones and disability advocates for one of several exciting advocacy events going on throughout Disability Matters Week at the State Capitol, April 22 through April 26.
On Tuesday, April 23, join disability advocates at the MN-CCD Tuesday at the Capitol and catch an exciting press conference. Join us again for the annual Disability Day at the Capitol (Disability Day at the Capitol Flyer 2013) on Thursday, April 25, including participating in an exciting noon rally in the Capitol Rotunda.
While advocating at the Capitol throughout Disability Matters Week don’t forget to check out the MN-CCD Faces of Disability exhibit which will be showcased in the North Corridor of the State Capitol. We encourage you to invite your legislators to attend the exhibit along with you! The exhibit will feature artwork, portraits and personal stories of Minnesotans with disabilities; raising awareness of the diversity and positive contributions of the disability community.
