Dakota Communities featured on NBC Kare 11 News
"Families fight cuts to disabilities programs," featuring Eric Stadler with mom Chris and sister Brooke, was the lead story on KARE 11's 6 p.m. news Monday, May 11th. We were pleased with the coverage and its depiction of what is at risk with the proposed state budget cuts.
Thank you to all who continue to email, call, write and show up at the Capitol to let your legislators know how important it is to invest in our most vulnerable citizens.

Watch our new video "Minnesota's Fork in the Road" on YouTube
Minnesotans face a “fork in the road” regarding how we treat people with developmental disabilities. One path affirms the value of people with disabilities and leads to greater humanity for all people. The other path goes backward to the inhumane treatment of people with disabilities that characterized our state forty years ago.

Let’s make sure Minnesota continues to be the kind of state that values people of all abilities. Urge your legislators to invest in Minnesotans with disabilities so that we can all be better off. Find your legislators, and how to contact them here.
