TAKE ACTION


ADVOCATE FOR CORONAVIRUS RELIEF

We must ask Members of Congress to pass a bill that addresses the specific and
critical needs of people with disabilities NOW, including:

 * Funding for a Medicaid grant program to support access to home and
   community-based services (to combat institutionalization) and to support the
   DSP workforce. Congress should pass the Coronavirus Relief for Seniors and
   People with Disabilities Act.

 * Personal protective equipment (PPE) for direct support professionals. This is
   urgently needed to protect the health and safety of this critical workforce.
   Direct support professionals must be designated as essential workforce so
   that they have access to the PPE and medical supplies they need.

 * Paid leave for caregivers. As more people with disabilities lose their usual
   sources of care, family caregivers are scrambling and need access to paid
   leave and sick days to help their loved ones. Congress should include all
   family caregivers in the emergency paid leave provisions.
