Please contact your Illinois Senator NOW to remind them that disability services should not be cut, not one cent. Call, leave a message!

We are headed back on train to Chicago. A very busy day working the House, but they passed HB 6909 Amendment 1 which is not clear/has cuts.

[ADAPT-Chicago @ADAPTChicago]

Gov's Springfield spokesman is assuring that they are going to fight for a good budget, keep up the pressure

"@seiuhcilin: What COURAGE looks like: advocates for home care services get arrested @AccessLiving @ADAPTChicago" Kudos to my Mike Sentino

[ADAPT-Chicago @ADAPTChicago]

Word is that the House is already working on a compromise budget bill. We have to stay strong for no cuts. #freeourpeople

[ADAPT-Chicago @ADAPTChicago]

If the committee does not pass HB 395, the 5% bill, the House will have shown that politics come before people. Hearing starts at 10 am CST.
