Get ready, because Ability 4 Us is heading to the 2024 Statewide Self-Advocacy Conference! We’re packing our bags, our voices, and our passion for change, and we can’t wait to connect with fellow self-advocates from across the state.
Why We’re Going:
This year, we’re focusing on two major goals:
- Raising DSP Wages: Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) are the backbone of our support system, providing essential care and assistance. We believe they deserve a living wage that reflects the incredible work they do. At the conference, we’ll be advocating for policies and initiatives that increase DSP wages and improve their working conditions.
- Learning and Growing: The conference is a fantastic opportunity to learn from experts, share experiences with other self-advocates, and discover new ways to make our voices heard. We’re excited to attend workshops, connect with organizations, and bring back valuable knowledge to our community.
What We Hope to Achieve:
- Make Connections: We want to meet other self-advocates, share our stories, and build relationships with people who share our passion for change.
- Spread Awareness: We’ll be talking about the importance of fair wages for DSPs and educating others about the challenges faced by people with disabilities.
- Gain New Skills: We’re eager to learn new advocacy strategies, communication techniques, and leadership skills that will empower us to create lasting change.
Join the Movement!
Even if you can’t make it to the conference, you can still be a part of our advocacy efforts!
- Spread the word: Share this blog post and tell your friends and family about the importance of supporting DSPs.
- Contact your representatives: Let your elected officials know that you support policies that increase DSP wages.
- Support Ability 4 Us: Follow us on social media and stay updated on our advocacy work.
Together, we can make a difference! Let’s make our voices heard at the 2024 Statewide Self-Advocacy Conference and beyond!
