[NFBMT-Parents] From Disability Rights Montana: COVID-19: Congress is ignoring people with disabilities

[BRUCE&JOY BRESLAUER]

Congress is Ignoring People with Disabilities in their COVID-19 Response 

Don't let them! Make some noise! 

 

Congress is currently negotiating a third piece of legislation to provide
support to American families and businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

 

But, once again, they are ignoring people with disabilities! 

 

We need increased funding for home and community based services and direct
support professionals, more money for school districts so they can continue
to provide an education to students with disabilities, additional funding for
SNAP and Meals on Wheels so no one goes hungry, and more. 

 

The needs of people with disabilities cannot be ignored during this crisis.
We must be treated fairly and equally. 

 

Send your Senators and Representative an email now!
