Please join Massachusetts Advocates Standing Strong on May 14th, from 1:30 - 3:30pm in Room 222, as we make a renewed presence at the State House! We will talk about our history of advocacy, the bills currently most important to our self-advocate leadership, meet with legislators and discuss their involvement with the bills, and end with a Q+A session.

Please keep in mind that there will NOT be food provided, and you should try to come earlier than 1:30pm to make sure you have enough time to get through the security line.
