Disability and Aging Capitol Action Day is a day-long event mobilizing California’s aging and disability communities at the Capitol. It’s filled with opportunities to build community, learn about and share resources, educate our policy makers, and elevate the collective power of older adults and people with disabilities.
This year’s event is sponsored by both the Disability Action Coalition and the California Alliance for Retired Americans.
Free lunch provided for those who register https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2019-disability-aging-capitol-action-day-registration-53197893331?ref=ecount
The participant registration process includes options to request accommodations. Please submit your reasonable accommodation request by May 10, 2019.
Part of the advocacy efforts will include The Senior and Disability Justice Act (SB 388 by Senator Ben Hueso). We’re a sponsor of this bill to provide better police protection to people with disabilities.
