Graphic advocating for full funding of disability services. At the top, bold navy text reads, “20,000 people with disabilities, 5,000 staff, & 35 providers are asking you to…” Below it, large green text says, “Fully Fund Disability Services.” On the left is a circular photo of Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee speaking at a podium. To the right is a horizontal progress bar filled halfway in dark blue, labeled “50%.” Beneath the bar, text explains that a state review found disability services need more funding and that Governor McKee’s proposed budget funds only 50% of the recommended amount. The text states that advocates are asking lawmakers to fund 100% of the funding needed for disability services. A section header below reads, “What Fully Funded Services Look Like,” with green checkmark icons beneath it, indicating positive outcomes or benefits (specific items not shown in this image).
