Issues important to people with disabilities must be part of the platform for any candidate running for public office, be it a City Council position or for Mayor.
The disability service providers, leaders, retailers, and groups of San Antonio are invited to join in a collective conversation around The Disability Vote in San Antonio. On Monday, February 22nd at 6PM, we will virtually gather as partners for the disability vote to look at the issues facing those living with a disability in San Antonio; build a framework around addressing some of those concerns with the City Council and Mayoral candidates who will appear on the May 2021 election ballot; and determine how best to collectively disseminate information and actively engage those we serve.
