Last week, The Arc of Massachusetts coordinated members of the IDD-Autism Alliance to send a letter to Governor Maura Healey and Attorney General Andrea Campbell, asking them to sign on to a national statement rejecting the Department of Justice’s recent memo threatening the long-standing Olmstead community integration mandate. This is an important opportunity to reaffirm our state’s commitment to home and community-based services. Stay tuned for more on this important policy matter as we launch a strategic advocacy campaign soon.
The undersigned organizations on this letter are The Arc of Massachusetts, Massachusetts Advocates Standing Strong, Disability Policy Consortium, Massachusetts Down Syndrome Congress, Association for Autism and Neurodiversity (AANE), Massachusetts Advocates for Children, the LEND Program at Boston Children’s Hospital, MassFamilies, and the Insurance Resource Center.
