More than 75 LIFESPAN staff, individuals, and family members stood alongside 200+ advocates from across North Carolina to champion funding and support for people with disabilities.
Your voices matter—especially now. Recent Medicaid cuts of 3%–10% threaten essential services like the Innovations Waiver, CAP, ICF, and behavioral health therapies.
Every action makes a difference. Thank you for standing with us to protect critical services and ensure that every individual with a disability has the opportunity to live, work, and thrive in their community.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Legislative Day!
