Inaugural Michigan Legislative Disability Caucus - April 21, 2023 at 9:30 a.m.

 From the Michigan Developmental Disabilities Council:

The Inaugural Michigan Legislative Disability Caucus Meeting is 

Friday, April 21, 2023, at 9:30 a.m. 

The Michigan Legislative Disability Caucus will hold its first meeting on Friday, April 21, 2023, at 9:30 a.m. via Zoom. This platform is a place where legislators, people with disabilities, family members, advocates, and self-advocates can come together to talk about issues important to people with disabilities as well as learn from our lawmakers about the disability issues that are important to them.

The first meeting we will hear from lawmakers and staff sharing what their legislative priorities are regarding disability specific issues. We look forward to hearing how we, the disability advocacy community, can work collectively with our Michigan legislature to enhance the lives of people with disabilities throughout the state.

It is important that they hear from a broad spectrum of the disability community including people with more severe disabilities and their families who are often left out of policy discussions.
