We expect the Governor’s May Revision of the California State Budget will include deep and harmful cuts to critical developmental services and supports that more than 500,000 Californians with disabilities and their families rely on every day. Decisions by our legislators to accept or reject the Governor’s proposed budget cuts will move quickly. And if our community is not visible, not organized, and not speaking up—those decisions will be made without us.
