Location
The North Carolina Council on Developmental Disabilities (NCCDD) is continuing its monthly discussion series to boost the voices and messages of NC self-advocates* for influencing social and systems change. The series is held on the third Wednesday of every month. See below for more details and how to register!
Topic: Learn about the Rossi Fund and Disability Voting Rights Week
Topic description: Join us to discuss two topics. First, we will talk about the NCCDD Jean Wolff-Rossi Fund for Participant Involvement and how you can use it to be reimbursed for funds to attend conferences, events, and advisory councils. If you have used the Rossi Fund before, come share about your experience!
Our second topic will be about disability voting rights. As the big elections get closer, we will discuss protecting the rights of people with disabilities to participate fully in our democracy by preparing to recognize Disability Voting Rights Week which is held September 9 – 13, 2024.
The series is facilitated by Chris Hendricks, NCCDD Policy Education Coordinator and NCCDD members who are self-advocates.
Spanish, ASL, and CART Captioning will be available.
