Urgent: We Must Act to Save the Protection and Advocacy Network

Written By North Country Center for Independence

There is a proposal circulating in Washington, DC to drastically cut funding for programs that protect the health, safety, and well-being of people with disabilities.

On the chopping block? Critical funding for the nation's Protection and Advocacy agencies.

These funding cuts will increase abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation, while decreasing the ability of people with disabilities to live in their community and be self-reliant. This will return us to the days when people with disabilities were seen as burdens, rather than as beneficial to our society. 

For many people with disabilities, these programs are the only resources they can turn to when they need help. They literally save lives.

Help us save these critical programs by emailing Congress using this form. If you would like to personalize your letter by adding the name of your state's P&A agency, you can find it here.
