Individuals with disabilities, family members, advocates, providers, and their allies annually gather at the Capitol to bring awareness to this cause and to tell their I am Olmstead stories; and
All persons with disabilities should have the opportunity to live and work with dignity, freedom, and self-sufficiency as productive citizens.
