Disabled and Deaf People Belong in Our Communities: 18 Governors Took a Stand—Where Is Yours?

Deaf people and people with disabilities belong in our communities—with the freedom to choose where we live and the support to make that choice possible. No one should be forced into an institution because services are unavailable where they live. Our history already carries the wounds of exclusion, segregation, and policies that treated disabled lives as problems to hide. We deserve governors who will defend our dignity through public commitments and meaningful action. Whatever your political affiliation, ask yourself: Are the leaders you support protecting your freedom and your community’s future? Contact your governor and demand a clear commitment to community living. Our homes, our choices, and our humanity must never become bargaining chips. You can call or email your governor in your state: "Hi, my name is.... and I live in....I am asking Governor...to sign the statement: Our commitment to community integration for people with disabilities. People with disabilities have the right to live in our communities, not institutions, and I want my governor to say so publicly." You can find your governor (USA.GOV/STATE-GOVERNOR) and pick your state for phone, email or contact forms. Or you prefer to call? 1-844-872-4681.
