Stavros

Advocates for Independent Living

MISSION STATEMENT

Promoting independence and access in our communities for persons with disabilities and Deaf people.

Welcome to Stavros!

Get Involved and Stay Involved!

On this website you will find information about resources, laws and important issues that impact your ability to remain independent. What's the most important resource of all? It's contact information about all your elected officials! By staying informed and contacting your state (or just western MA) legislators and federal legislators about important issues, you help preserve your rights and the rights of others.

Call your Legislators!

Things can only change if our elected officials--local, state or national --know how you feel! Find out all you need to know to be informed to Vote Smart and start changing the world!

Community Choice Act

The Community Choice Act would establish a national PCA program and address the institutional bias (right now, everyone is "entitled" to nursing home care, but they're not "entitled" to care in their own homes) in Medicaid. Please call your federal legislators and ask them to pass the CCA this session! Go to our "Hot Issues" page for more info.
