Grassroots Action!

Contra Costa ARC is committed to keeping you informed about current grassroots political activities so that your voice can be heard.

When grassroots action is needed, you can find out about it here.

We cannot cover all the issues, but we will try to always include those with the greatest direct impact on children and adults with developmental disabilities in California.

Important:

  • When an issue is widely supported we will present the call to action without comment.
  • When an issue is controversial, we will tell you both sides of the issue so that you can make your own decision.

Current Action Needed

January, 2011

Governor Brown has proposed a budget for 2011–2012 that makes such severe cuts to services for people with developmental disabilities that the basic rights guaranteed in the Laterman Act are at immediate risk.

August, 2009

In 2009, the California State Legislature and the Schwarzenegger Administration enacted devastating changes to the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act. They reduced the legal rights and services for people with developmental disabilities in California and seriously eroded the historic and unique promise of the Lanterman Act for all of California's citizens with developmental disabilities.

The links below provide information about our efforts to stop these changes and background on the issues.
