Help us get a message to Congress
by Jennifer
Easter Seals has led the way since our founding to get more people the services and supports they need in their home and community. Almost 100 years later, we are still fighting to help people get what they want and need. I’m responsible for leading those efforts here in DC. I need your help in getting a message to Congress.
Long-term services and supports — like adult day services, personal attendant care, assistive technology, transportation and housing — are critical to helping people with disabilities of any age. Our current system forces people to spend down their financial assets until they reach poverty before they can receive the help they need. It fails to provide realistic opportunities for personal planning, and support to families and caregivers. We can and must do better.
Easter Seals needs your voice to help to make it easier for people to access long-term services and supports. We are partnering with other national organizations in sponsoring a petition to Congress. Please follow the link below and add your name to the thousands of supporters who have already signed the petition!
Tell Congress: Address Financing for Long-term Services and Supports.
Thank you for your advocacy!
