March 5: Knowledge is Power Series

 

March 3, 2025 | by Amber Smock

Access Living friends and allies,

If you’re looking to learn more about how possible Medicaid cuts, changes to our Department of Education and the impact of recent changes at the federal level on the lives of people with disabilities, come join us March 5! 

Access Living and the Illinois Council on Developmental Disabilities continues our series Knowledge is Power Series. We will be meeting every three weeks online to share about disability issues at the national level, and what people in Illinois can do to fight for what we need.

Each session will focus on a different federal advocacy topic. For March 5, we will provide an update on Medicaid and why it’s important for us all. We will also hear about some critical changes to our Department of Education and more. Come and learn with us! You do not need to be an expert to participate.
