Action Alert! The Governor has announced $400 million in mid-year budget cuts.
Each Department is being asked to come up with its share of the
cuts. The Department of Human Services is the largest department in
the state. It is unclear how much the Department or the Division of
Developmental Disabilities is being asked to cut. To find out more
about it and what you can do, visit the Arc's and ABCD's (the
Alliance for the Betterment of Citizens with Disabilities) web sites
at:
http://www.arcnj.org/ http://www.abcdnj.org/action
The coalition is continuing its efforts to help ensure that services to people with developmental disabilities don’t get cut in next year’s budget either! We are facing a $5-8 billion dollar deficit and must work to educate the new administration and legislature about how important current supports and services are for thousands of people with developmental disabilities in New Jersey.

The Council’s R-word Campaign The Council’s R-word Campaign is an
ongoing effort to stop the use of the word retarded and the slur
“retard.” We are working with the New Jersey Self-Advocacy Project
and other groups to officially use intellectual disability and to
stop the informal use of the words that have become far too common
as a “joking” put down. |
