Last Friday, our community showed up strong. Advocates, families, and providers stood together to make our voices heard for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
We were proud to hear powerful remarks from Katy, our Self-Advocacy President, alongside her mother Susan Sanchez, our CEO Jessica Pizzutello, and other inspiring speakers who shared why our community must be seen, heard, and supported.
Katy closed with a powerful call: “Governor Hochul, can you hear us?”
Thank you to the New York State and Federal elected leaders who stood with our community and listened.
