Funding Crisis July 2009

If you live in Illinois, please contact your legislator and ask for full funding of social services. With the economy if trouble, poor people and people with disabilities are really bearing the brunt of the problem. The period between now and July 14th is a critical time for speaking out.

This is not to minimize the pain and suffering of jobless people. It is simply asking for the first priority of reinstatement of funding to be directed toward the sickest and poorest.

Thank you for your advocacy.
