Community inclusion is a civil right, not a choice.

The U.S. Department of Justice has removed long-standing guidance that explained how the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Supreme Court’s Olmstead decision protect people with disabilities. These protections help ensure that people can live, work, learn, and take part in their communities.

This action does not change the law. However, it raises serious concerns about whether disability rights laws will continue to be fully enforced.

For more than 35 years, Community Support Network has believed that every person deserves the chance to live a self-directed life and experience purpose, belonging, and joy in their community.

We stand with people with disabilities, families, caregivers, service providers, and advocates in protecting the right to live and participate in the community.

Please read and share the full press release to help others understand what is at stake.

The Survival Coalition of Wisconsin Disability Organizations released a statement today about the U.S. Department of Justice rescinding its long-standing guidance on enforcement of the Americans with Disabilities Act’s (ADA) integration mandate and Olmstead v. L.C.

July is Disability Pride Month, and here at CSN, we are proud to celebrate the individuals we support, our staff, and the larger disability community.

Yesterday, Madison raised the Disability Pride Flag, a meaningful reminder of the importance of inclusion, belonging, and being SEEN.

We are grateful to be part of a community that continues working toward a place where everyone is valued and supported.

ACTION ALERT! The Joint Finance Committee (JFC) is meeting on Tuesday, June 2, to decide whether the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) services should get the extra money it needs to begin helping people with disabilities who are on the DVR waitlist, want to work, and need help getting a job.

The state budget did not set aside enough money to cover the costs of the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR). There are more than 7,000 people on the DVR waitlist, and it’s estimated that the list will grow to 15,000 by the end of the year without enough state funding.

ACTION STEP BEFORE 9 AM TUESDAY, JUNE 2: Contact the members of the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Finance and your State Senator and State Assembly Representatives and tell them what it means when people with disabilities and families have to wait for help when they want to work.
