Dear Friends – today the NACDD staff will attend several celebrations of the 20^th Anniversary of the Olmstead Decision. The first is sponsored by ACL and takes place at 1pm eastern time. Two self-advocates who are associated with the Maryland Council on Developmental Disabilities, Liz Weintraub and Damon Briggs will be speaking. Below is information on how to join this celebration even on-line.

This evening an event will take place in the Senate honoring the Olmstead Decision Anniversary. There will be a panel presentation and reception sponsored by Senators Casey and Murray. NACDD will post on social media about both events so that you can share! If you have local events happening please let us know and we will amplify your events on our social media as well.

Have a great Anniversary day!
