Time to make some noise again.

Senator Fahy is trying to amend the Communication Bill of Rights in the NY State Senate AGAIN, so that it’s not even a bill of rights anymore— but an unfunded and therefore, make-believe research grant, which would continue to give the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) full control. She proposes to use $25 million in state tax payer money to prove a method we already know is working. It’s a nonsense proposal— it wouldn’t get approved— but just suggesting it tells us she is killing time, trying to run out the clock on this session.

The wind is at our backs with this NBC segment!

We need you to contact Senate leadership, the Disabilities Committee, and their staff to ask for INTERVENTION, because Fahy is FAILING her job as Chair of the Disabilities Committee. We need them to introduce a NY State Senate Communication Bill of Rights that is identical to A7363C, the Assembly version that passed unanimously last June.

And no, you do NOT need to live in New York, or even the United States, to help!
