As 2025 comes to a close, MLPD extends its gratitude to our members and donors. Our members play an important role in deciding what to advocate for, and our donors ensure we can carry out this work. We thank our donors for their generosity over the past year and humbly ask for their continued support to carry out our important mandate.
As we look ahead to 2026, our fight for disability rights continues. When we work together and support each other, we can make progress.
