 CALL YOUR LEGISLATORS 

 One of the ways to get your point across is to talk with your legislators…and calling them is the easiest  one!                                       Most probably you will have to leave a message.                

When asked by the operator, say YES… (It will go to the legislator’s Blackberry!). On the message, leave a call-back number.                    

Remember to be brief and courteous!

Special Needs Registry

  

This registration website allows residents with special needs an opportunity to provide information to emergency response agencies so those agencies can better plan to serve them in a disaster or other emergencies.

The information collected here will not be available to the public. It will only be shared with emergency response agencies to improve their ability to serve.

There is no substitute for personal preparation. In a disaster, government and other agencies may not be able to meet your needs. It is important for all residents to make individual plans and preparations for their care and safety in an emergency.

CUCIL can help you with these preparations...Call the Center and ask to speak with Veronica, our Skills Trainer coordinator.

Mission

Central Utah Center for Independent Living (CUCIL) empowers people with disabilities to reach their full potential in community settings through peer support, advocacy, and education.

National Coalition for Disability Rights

  

ACTION ALERT:

Help Stop the Department of Justice from Implementing Rule Changes to the ADA that Will Profoundly Limit Access!

ADA Watch/NCDR previously notified you of proposed amendments to Titles II and III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)'s federal regulations and called on you to make public comment.  We also forwarded Steve Gold's assessment of the proposed changes which will profoundly affect access to public facilities and to public accommodations and commercial facilities. 

We still need you to take action!

  

The deadline for public comments is    August 18, 2008.   

  

Our coalition partners at the Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund (DREDF) and other disability rights attorneys and advocates have put together a comprehensive Action Center so that we can work together to stop these harmful changes.

DOJ must receive a flood of comments from the disability community in favor of a strong, comprehensive ADA.

Comments must defend the principle of individual, case-by-case assessment, which DOJ is largely abandoning in favor of many blanket reductions.

We must remind DOJ that the ADA is already carefully crafted to take the needs of covered entities into account, and that reductions to our civil rights would be a devastating blow to our daily lives.

  

Go to the Action Center now and stop the Department of Justice from rolling back our civil rights!
