People with disabilities deserve safety & dignity — and that starts with oversight. P&As have the legal power to enter facilities & stop abuse. But this authority is under threat from proposed budget cuts. Tell Congress: #ProtectP&As 👉 ow.ly/L7Z450WgNEF

Warning: this story is difficult to hear, but it's the reason we fight. P&As shine a light on some of the most shocking abuse of people with disabilities – and not only that. We seek justice. ⚖️ This is the power of access authority. youtu.be/fZ8ifXVogKc?si…

New from Urban Institute The Senate’s “big beautiful bill” would slash SNAP benefits for families in every U.S. state. For people with disabilities—who already face higher rates of poverty and food insecurity—this is devastating. urban.org/sites/default/…
