Honored to celebrate #TakeYourLegislatorToWorkDay with @MDODSecretary and partners across Maryland!
Grateful to @GovWesMoore for issuing a proclamation to commemorate the day & highlight how inclusive employment empowers people with disabilities and strengthens our communities.
People with developmental disabilities and their supporters have found themselves fighting again – and at the last minute – over a proposed cut in state funding.
The latest from Annapolis in @BaltimoreBanner's live blog, with @MaddiONeill:

A HUGE thank you to the over 1,000 people who showed up in Annapolis last night to #SaveOurDDServices! Let’s keep the momentum going for the civil rights and services our community deserves. @GovWesMoore
NEW: Hundreds of Marylanders gathered in Annapolis tonight to rally against @GovWesMoore's proposed budget, which rolls back planned spending in the Developmental Disabilities Administration.
