🚨Please Take Action: Protect Day Services for People with Disabilities🚨

Missouri's proposed FY2027 budget includes a 33% cut to Day Services for individuals with developmental disabilities. These services are essential for individualized opportunities, community connections, and overall, meaningful days. Cuts would deeply impact individuals, families, and local providers like Osage County Community Living, Inc./ The Ability Center

Here's how YOU can help:
Our statewide partner, Starling Missouri, has made it easy to take action with advocacy tools including:
✔ A one-click VoterVoice Advocacy Tool
✔ Fact sheets & one-page summaries
✔ Sample advocacy letters for families

Tell legislators: NO CUTS to DD services. Protect our community and our day programs.
Take action now:

Every voice matters. Thank you for standing with people with disabilities and helping protect the services our community depends on!
