If passed, the Transformation to Competitive Integrated Employment Act would end subminimum wage for people with disabilities, and create new opportunities to help us get and keep real jobs with real pay [[link removed]] .

Disabled people in sheltered workshops have been underpaid for decades. Our communities deserve integrated employment and payment at or above the minimum wage. The Transformation to Competitive Integrated Employment Act would make that goal a reality. Find out how YOU can support TCIEA here. [[link removed]]

We know it can be challenging to speak up and be direct with your elected officials. We have tools to help, including if you can’t or don’t want to make a phone call.
