Rally at the Center!!

The Center in the Plaza at 100 West Randolph, Chicago.

We will need hundreds of people with signs.

This is the moment for your family make itself seen. This is the moment for your

agency to load up its vans and get downtown. We need to put faces on our issues.

The Chicago media will be there. Families will be speaking about the cuts to

disability services. Our LIFE Petitions will be delivered to the Governor.

Plan to attend this LIFE Event and bring a crowd of friends with you.

Please have other advocates, staff and friends sign our petition. Right now, we

have over 4,000 signatures. We need more!

Here is a link to the petition:
