Getting the following from a few different directions right now, Georgia Advocacy Office and disABILITY LINK, both in Decatur, Georgia.. :waving to Cheri and Linda:
Not too late to organize something to celebrate in your own community.. Marches from a point of interest to or through an institution are very popular with my friends.. If you get down to the last second, you could still get together and go out to dinner, anything, and still bring awareness to those around you..
Advocacy Tip: For next year, stop right now and put yourself an entry in your favorite calendar program, such as Yahoo!'s Calendar.. Set it to start reminding you a few months ahead of time so you can start encouraging those around you to get involved, too..
Remember, June 22, 2009, the Ten Year Anniversary of Olmstead decision, is just around the corner, too.. Hint, hint..
PS.. If you would like to volunteer, get involved with the event in Georgia, give a shout to Cheri Mitchell: 678-755-6015..
Long Road Home 2007 :: It’s a Celebration!!
Friday, June 22, 2007 :: 12:00 noon
Join activists from around the state for a Rally at the Georgia State Capitol
We will be celebrating the Olmstead Decision of 1999 and the victories won this year.
- Approval of Georgia’s Money Follows the Person application
- The passage of The Advanced Directive Bill
- The passage of the Medicaid Buy-in
After the rally, everyone is invited to March with us to the Atlanta Public Library. Endeavor Freedom will be filming people’s stories.
We all have a story to tell, share yours.
The stories will be preserved for the Georgia Disability Rights Exhibit.
What Begins As Simplicity Speaks To a Change For the World to See. Be the Change!
