Announcement - The Coalition for Self Direction Families of New York State
Agency Programs vs Self Direction
The Coalition is led by the families of New Yorkers with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities who rely on Self-Directed Services. The Coalition welcomes all who value Self-Direction, including individuals and their supporters.
Where we are:
We have hired a Lobbyist in Albany, and we have a number of Lawyers working on the team - https://www.coalition4sdf.org/lawyers
Jackie Ceonzo has done a tremendous job as an Advocate in getting us started. Jim Karpe and I are in support - https://www.coalition4sdf.org/advocates
Here are the current initiatives - https://www.coalition4sdf.org/initiatives
Jim Karpe, Kim Richman, Stacey Cagan, Jackie Ceonzo, and Mike Sweeney at SNACK Fundraiser - New York Athletic Club - November 2023
What we need:
The goal is to build a large state wide Coalition to simply make Self-Direction more manageable and more sustainable. Please start here and tell us “Your SD Priorities” - https://www.coalition4sdf.org/what-do-you-want-from-self-direction
We have funded our lobbyist through the end of the year, but we will need to build fundraising. For today, we REALLY REALLY need you to fill this out!! https://www.coalition4sdf.org/what-do-you-want-from-self...
This is a start... #AeternusUmbra (watch forever)
