Massive Disability Services Day turnout at the Capitol. The major theme on many signs: “cuts have costs.” AG Ellison currently urging crowd to contact his office if they see cuts from Trump administration.

To the advocates and support staff at Disability Services Day at the Capitol: Thank you for sharing your stories. It matters.      Our administration is committed to building a better, more accessible state for Minnesotans with disabilities.

The Legislature must #InvestInUs and pay DSPs who support people with disabilities! @ARRM @CCRIShannon
There was a lot of talk today by legislators and the administration about supporting DSPs so they can help our folks live their best lives! Now let’s follow that talk with action!

Wonderful group from all over #SD45 visited for Disability Services Day on the Hill! They came to advocate for disability services & wage increases for service providers. Our most vulnerable Minnesotans and their caregivers need support. #SupportDisabilityServices

Very crowded rotunda for Disabilities Services Day at the Capitol. Folks near me were not pleased with the proposed spending target for health and human services.

This is a national article, and it is REALLY easy to say "well, that's not here"... except it is. It is happening everywhere. #MNLeg, we are begging. Please prioritize the state's most vulnerable.

Excellent reporting from @KirstenKSTP shining a spotlight on the significant challenges facing disability services. From group home to senior living. Staffing crisis in Minnesota’s disability services forces aging parents into desperate situations kstp.com/5-investigates/from…

Headline: Doors Close for Disabled Adults. We all deserve to live free, full lives. The #mnleg must go back to the Capitol to finish our work, including critical funding for PCAs, group homes, nursing homes, & hospitals. Critical worker shortages are a life & death problem. 🧵👇🏼

Time is running out for DSPs and people with disabilities. It’s time for the GOP, DFL and the Governor to come together and #SupportOurSupports. Disability Services CAN NOT WAIT! #mnleg CC: @jimabeler @TinaLiebling @RepJenSchultz @SenUtke @GovTimWalz

Last night, KSTP aired a segment on the state of our industry. ARRM CEO Sue Schettle summed it up best, "It's beyond a crisis." ow.ly/C4XK50IVOot

URGENT: The Minnesota House is moving their Human Services Omnibus bill closer to the finish line and it still does NOT include critical funding for DSPs and disability services! Tell your Representative that disability services need help NOW: arrm.org/advocacy/take-actio…
