Take Action: Tell Your Legislators to Stop the Cuts

Governor Wes Moore’s proposed budget includes over $200 million in cuts to Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) services. These devastating reductions threaten essential supports that thousands of Marylanders with developmental disabilities rely on to live independently, work, and be part of their communities.

If these cuts go through, here’s what will happen:

• People with disabilities will lose critical services that help them thrive.
• Families and caregivers will be left without the support they need, pushing many into crisis.
• The already struggling direct support workforce will shrink even more, making it harder to provide quality care.

These cuts are not just numbers—they represent real people whose lives will be directly impacted. If we don’t speak up, disability services in Maryland will suffer.

Your Voice Matters

Lawmakers need to hear from you. Write a letter to your state representative today and demand that DDA services receive full funding. Tell them:

• These cuts are unacceptable.
• People with disabilities deserve the support they need to live full lives.
• Maryland must prioritize disability services—not leave people behind.

Act now. Contact your representative and tell them to fully fund DDA services. Every letter makes a difference.
