If You Care About People...
You'll care about how people with developmental and intellectual disabilities will be impacted by the current budget discussions taking place in Sacramento.
Do not underestimate the drastic effect on the lives of those with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy and other forms of intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The proposed $750 million budget cut to the Department of Developmental Services and $1.7 billion cut in Medi-Cal will lead to the potential collapse of non-profit organizations who provide extraordinary services to these citizens.
If we fail, who will take our place?
Don't let the state balance the budget on the backs of California's most vulnerable population.
Do not leave people with developmental disabilities to fend for themselves. Keep our programs and services intact.
TODAY, contact your State Assembly Member and your State Senator.
The message is simple: The proposed cuts are too deep and will risk throwing tens of thousands of Californians with intellectual and developmental disabilities out on the streets with nowhere to turn.
