NEW DATE!!!

 

Please join us for a forum, "Respect the Disability Voice, Get the Disability Vote". This event is intended for Democratic candidates who are running for political office in Pennsylvania. Their campaign staff is welcome and encouraged to attend. (A separate forum for Republican candidates TBD.)

 

Hosted by PA Action: Protecting Disability Rights, a statewide, grassroots, cross-disability group of individuals with disabilities, their family members, and allies.

7:00-9:00pm

 

Upper Dublin Township Building

801 Loch Alsh Ave,

Fort Washington, PA 19034

 

People with disabilities, their family members, their friends, and those who work or volunteer on their behalf are a full 63% of American voters*. Join other Democratic candidates and their campaigns from Southeastern PA to learn from local leaders in the disability community about how to keep campaigns (websites, communications, fundraisers, etc.) accessible to voters with disabilities. This forum will also touch upon current issues facing the disability community and provide time for candidates to share their plans for protecting our civil rights.
