Peer Empowerment Group - Voting: Exercising Your Right
Calling all self-advocates! Join us for our virtual Peer Empowerment Group to meet and gather with fellow self-advocates. This session will feature a thoughtful discussion, led by our host, on why voting matters, how it affects the disability community and what steps you can take to get registered and ready to vote. We’ll also talk about how your voice can make a real difference in elections.
Don't miss this opportunity to find your voice and network with other self-advocates! Plus, if you attend, you will receive a custom Peer Empowerment badge!
