Advocacy is a core service of CAL.
Advocates work in partnership with consumers to resolve incidents of discrimination and denial of services. This is done through negotiation with governments, business and service providers.
Advocacy also includes working for systems changes that reflect the needs of people with disabilities at the federal, state and local levels.
CAL is proud to be a part of KY Advocacy in Action, a statewide advocacy group aimed to help shape the future of accessibility and inclusion in KY.
If you are facing a problem that you want to engage, or are interested in registering to vote, call us today! 270.753.7676

CAL-Murray staff will be at Wal-Mart, ringing bells this evening from 3p-5p for the Salvation Army. Murray the Elf has educated David and explained that the Army business is metaphorical, and he can NOT solicit donations at bayonet point or order anyone to do push-ups. If you can, please come by and donate. CAL-Murray's partnership with the Salvation Army provides ramps and equipment loan to people with disabilities in our service area---including equipment that overcomes barriers and allows accessible solutions for family and loved ones to be together for the holidays!
