Becoming a Grassroots Advocate
At the Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities (GCDD), we know that Georgians with developmental disabilities (DD) want to live full lives in our communities and they are fully capable of doing so. And we know that if we, the citizens of Georgia, choose to make positive changes to our system, more and more people with DD will be working in our communities, living with their families, friends or independently as they so choose, and participating in their communities all across Georgia. When all of our citizens, including those with DD, are able to use their gifts and talents and pursue their dreams, it creates a better Georgia for us all. To make this a reality, we all have to become grassroots advocates to promote public policy that is truly inclusive of citizens with DD.
