The Direct Support Professional (DSP) workforce is facing a serious crisis. Each year, about 41% of DSPs leave their jobs, most often because they are severely underpaid for the critical work they do, making it harder for people with disabilities to find and keep the consistent support they need.

DSPs help people with disabilities with things many of us take for grantedโ€”everyday tasks like getting dressed, taking medication, preparing meals, and so much more. We are asking Congress to take a big first step in solving this crisis by passing the Recognizing the Role of Direct Support Professionals Act.

Send a message to congress and tell them what DSPs mean to you: https://bit.ly/4hTRVM1

๐Ÿ“…Save the date: November 17 at the Indiana Statehouse. The Indiana Disability Alliance is hosting a rally, and you are invited!

November 17th is Organization Day, the day Indiana lawmakers gather at the Statehouse to prepare for the upcoming legislative session. That means all 150 members of the Indiana General Assembly will be there. And we need the disability community there too.

Mark your calendar. Share this with your network. Plan to join us at the Statehouse on November 17.

Thereโ€™s been a lot of confusion around Medicaid lately, so we made this graphic to help explain two separate issues. ๐Ÿ‘‡

โš ๏ธ Two different processes. Two different decisions. Both can cause people with disabilities to lose important care and services.

Please share so families, providers, and lawmakers understand the difference. โค๏ธ

If you experienced or are experiencing either of these issues, please take our survey. We want the data to show the scope of these issues and help push for meaningful change.
