Special Announcement

Throughout this quarter, Independence Now invites you to stay after each Housing Seminar for a special Lift Up Your Voice for Change voter engagement session led by Rochelle Harrod, Felicia Latimore, and the Housing Truth Tellers.

These interactive, nonpartisan discussions will empower individuals with disabilities to understand the impact their voices and votes have on the issues that matter most to our community. Together, we’ll explore how civic engagement helps shape policies that affect our everyday lives, including affordable and accessible housing, health care, transportation, community living, nursing facility transition, personal assistance services, employment, and disability rights.

Real change begins when our community is informed, engaged, and represented. Your voice matters, your experiences matter, and your vote has the power to influence decisions that affect independence, accessibility, and equal opportunity.
