It was an honor participating in the Speak Up and Speak Out Summit Legislative Panel, hosted by The Arc of Illinois!
This conference shows that disability does not deny your voice. In Illinois, we understand that success must be in reach for all.
From voting for record-investments in supportive housing, to policies that make work and education more accessible, I will always be an advocate for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Special shoutout to Lifelong Access, based right here in our district, for showing out at the conference. It was incredible seeing so many familiar faces and talking about the issues that matter!
