If you're a person with a disability or a family member of someone with a disability, what's most important to you? What makes your life feel meaningful? #disabilityinclusion #buildingourstateplan #disabilityrights

[Nevada DD Council @NVGCDD]

Huge thank you to @RepMolinaroNY19, @SenBobCasey and @SenGillibrand for their support to the disability community. They provided passes to the Disability Policy Seminar participants to see the Senate and House hard at work! #dps2024 #nacdd #disabilityrightsarehumanrights

[Nevada DD Council @NVGCDD]

@SenCortezMasto means business when it comes to disability rights. Taking the time to meet with the Developmental Disabilities Council Staff to talk about the current legislation and proposed legislation to support the needs of the disability community.

@RepSusieLee Extremely grateful you took the time to meet with Mr. Cohen during the Disability Policy Seminar Hill Day! #disabilityrightsarehumanrights #dps2024

[Congresswoman Susie Lee @RepSusieLee]

Today, during #WorldAutismMonth, I met with Steven Cohen, a local advocate working to ensure every person with Autism Spectrum Disorder has the opportunities to succeed.

I’m proud to stand with Steven and all Americans with Autism in the fight for a more inclusive society.

[Erik Jimenez @ErikJimenezNV]

Today, SB315 was signed into law. Nevada now has the most expansive bill of rights for kids and adults w/ disabilities in the entire country. After making a promise to Sam Lieberman before he passed away, @MelanieScheible and I worked so hard to get this done. No words.

[National Disability Rights Network @NDRNadvocates]

"You may not see us...but we are here and our issues are important." Doralee Martinez on why she'll be voting on Primary Day in Nevada.

Today is probably my happiest day in Nevada government as we received $110,000 for our first-in-the-nation program to seed ABLE accounts from AB62. Thanks to @GoldmanSachs, we can work improve the lives of thousands of people with disabilities.

[NACDD @NACDD]

NACDD signed on in a letter to CMS calling on the administration to remove a regulation that allowed states to reduce Medicaid services during the pandemic. This resulted in people losing access to critical health care when they needed it. Read below:
