Advocacy Day for Access & Independence · April 25, 2023
10 AM - 12 PM
SC Statehouse & LIVESTREAM
Participate with us at the Statehouse or anywhere in the world via our Livestream online! People with disabilities face unnecessary and discriminatory barriers to transportation, housing, and healthcare. Advocacy Day for Access and Independence will call on South Carolina lawmakers to unlock these barriers! We seek to improve the lives of South Carolinians with disabilities by opening our communities up to accommodate disabled and non-disabled people, together!
