We are an activist organization representing over 5,000 SDS individuals and more than 25,000 additional furious parents, service team members, and employees.
GOV. WES MOORE, MDH, DDA
You are failing to uphold state and federal law regarding Self-Directing (SDS) services and those transitioning from the school system to DDA services, including the Governor’s Transition Youth Initiative (GTYI). Your intentional denial of services, failures and refusals via agency budgetary denials and rulemaking subterfuge and obfuscation, is stressing families beyond physical, emotional and financial means. State and federal tax revenue is lost due to wage earning parents quitting the workforce to perform care, while disability jobs disappear from the workforce.
In the context of “Leave No One Behind,” you have not just left us behind; you are waging war on us.
