$1 Billion Funding Delay

ByAutism Society SFBA

California is again facing a severe budgetary crisis this year. Funds for the ID/DD Autism community are again  on the chopping block which will negatively impact services for our community. Sadly  we often seem to be at the bottom of the priority list regarding funding by our state legislators.  But our advocacy  did make a difference before and can do it again

Please read the action alert below and take   quick action now. It will only take you a couple minutes. Go to this link to make your voice heard to our legislators.   

Please forward this onto to your email  list and social media contact  lists ASAP.

In solidarity with our other disability organizations,

Connie Boyar Frenzel

Advocacy Committee Chair- San Francisco Bay Area Autism Society
