ANCOR is issuing a third action alert this week because we have just heard that the Senate Republican and Democrats are working on competing packages for a third round of COVID-19 funding legislation. Because the negotiations surrounding combining these packages are creating new openings for the needs of people with intellectual / developmental disabilities (I/DD) to be heard, we are sending Congressional offices a revised message from the one we sent yesterday. This new message further hammers home how urgently disability supports need funding to ensure the well-being of the people they support during the outbreak, and also expresses disappointment that these supports have not been included in funding packages to date. It is very important that you speak up during this critical time when legislation is being drafted!
