- Turning 22 – 600 students not getting services after their first post-graduation year
- Salary Reserve – Thousands of already underpaid employees left out of budget
- Early Intervention – As many as 10,000 infants, toddlers losing services
Join us as we rally at the Statehouse to both thank our Legislators for
their good work and remind them of the serious unmet needs that remain.
and
Contact your Legislators and ask for their support.
