The Utah Developmental Disabilities Council (UDDC) and a coalition of community partners are seeking family members of persons with disabilities to become involved in a Grassroots Advocacy Partnership (GAP) in northern Utah.
This statewide grassroots effort will help people tell their stories and educate policy makers about the issues that impact the lives of people living with disabilities.
In this time of continued budget cuts, it is imperative that policy makers and legislators realize the impact that budget cuts in services to persons with disabilities will have on the individuals and their families.
Take this opportunity to have a say in what the future will hold for persons with disabilities in Utah. A small stipend is available for advocates who become involved now.
To learn more about this grassroots advocacy and to find out how you can get involved, you can go to the UDDC website.
