Northern Regional Center for Independent Living
(NRCIL)
Participates in Disability Voting Rights Week
September 11th 15th
Jefferson &
Lewis County New York As a partner of Disability Voting Rights Week, NRCIL
is building the power of the disability vote in our communities during
the week of September 11th 15th. Disability
Voting Rights Week is a national, nonpartisan initiative to build the power
and presence of the disability vote.
This Disability
Voting Rights Week, we are rallying the disability vote, making sure our
communities are registered and ready to vote and have access to the ballot.
When people with disabilities unite and advocate for civil and disability
rights, we have been able to achieve meaningful change. In 2023, millions
of disabled people will cast their ballots in elections across the country
that will impact access to health care, financial security, the ability to
live in community, and so much more.
Northern Regional Center for Independent
Living is a peer-run disability rights and resource center that promotes
efforts to end discrimination against people with disabilities by
partnering with the community to create an accessible, inclusive society.
