With the District facing a large budget shortfall, it's particularly important that supporters of disability rights get involved in the Council's oversight and budget process. People with disabilities and allies are encouraged to attend the February 23^rd oversight hearing and to testify or submit a written statement in support of the need for continued work to make the District a more open and accessible place for people with disabilities.
