Dear John,
Right now, in Washington, D.C., powerful forces are working to slash critical programs that protect the civil and human rights of people with disabilities.
They are targeting the very backbone of our community’s safety and independence - the Protection and Advocacy (P&A) network.
Proposing cutbacks would be bad enough. But this goes far beyond that. They are proposing the complete elimination of protection and advocacy programs – programs that ensure people with disabilities have dedicated advocates fighting for their right to employment, education, and to vote.

These aren’t just budget line items. They are lifelines. They ensure that:
- Students with disabilities receive appropriate educational services.
-
Adults with disabilities can work and live in their communities.
- Voters with disabilities can vote independently.
If these cuts go through, the impact will be devastating. Fewer advocates. Fewer protections. More people left without support.
We can’t let that happen. And we won’t - but we can’t do it alone.
We need your support now more than ever. Your donation helps us fight back against these cuts, amplify the voices of people with disabilities, and protect the rights we’ve fought so hard to secure.
Please give, today. Every dollar you donate helps us push back against these dangerous proposals and ensures that people with disabilities are treated with dignity, respect, and fairness.

Together, we can hold the line. But only if we act. Thank you for fighting with us.
In solidarity,
Marlene Sallo
Executive Director
