Join the Indiana Disability Alliance for a rally at the Indiana Statehouse to protect home and community-based services! Individuals with disabilities, family members, advocates, service professionals and others who believe in the importance of community living and the prevention of unnecessary institutionalization are encouraged to join the IDA rally!
Let’s show Indiana Lawmakers that the disability community is here to protect home and community-based services!
Attendees will hear from state leaders and individuals impacted by changes to Medicaid as well as have the opportunity to meet with their legislators. More details will be shared about the location, transportation, and speaking agenda.
