Join Disability Rights California's Southern CA Latino Conference April 24th, 2012

Los Angeles, CA - Disability Rights California is providing a networking and information exchange opportunity for advocates, people with disabilities, service providers, parents of children with disabilities and community leaders interested in improving life for Latinos with disabilities. This first conference will offer workshops and information exchange about key topics, such as mental health, benefits, advocacy skills, employment, housing, special education and voting rights.

The theme is "One voice: strength through advocacy." Due to our poor economy, serious cutbacks of services and benefits are threatening to erode decades of progress in building an accessible, inclusive California. It is urgent to increase knowledge in the Latino community about the legal rights to services and supports that Californians with disabilities have. We need to come together to raise the voice of the Latino community against cuts to critical services.

Please register soon and let us know at least 10 working days in advance if you need sign language interpretation or documents in Braille or large print. Free lunch will be provided to those who pre-register, and space is limited. Call toll free: 800.776.5746 and ask for Mary Rios.
