June is LGBTQ Pride Month in Wisconsin. Pride Month is an opportunity to celebrate inclusion and acceptance. While we have made progress in advancing equality, more remains to be done. Registering to vote and casting a ballot is an important way for all citizens to participate in our democracy and help to advance equality and inclusion.

ACTION ALERT! The Joint Finance Committee (JFC) is meeting on Tuesday, June 2, to decide whether the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) services should get the extra money it needs to begin helping people with disabilities who are on the DVR waitlist, want to work, and need help getting a job.

The state budget did not set aside enough money to cover the costs of the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR). There are more than 7,000 people on the DVR waitlist, and it’s estimated that the list will grow to 15,000 by the end of the year without enough state funding.

ACTION STEP BEFORE 9 AM TUESDAY, JUNE 2: Contact the members of the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Finance and your State Senator and State Assembly Representatives and tell them what it means when people with disabilities and families have to wait for help when they want to work.

Did you know Wisconsin has eight Independent Living Centers — each serving different counties, but all working toward the same mission?

Together, we ensure that every person in Wisconsin has access to:
▪ disability resources
▪ independent living skills
▪ advocacy
▪ transition assistance
▪ peer support
▪ and more!

Every center plays a critical role in supporting people with disabilities in their region, and we’re grateful for their partnership.

If you’re not sure which ILC serves your county, reach out — we’ll help you connect to the right place.
