July Interstate Connections Newsletter

Mouth Magazine is a bi-monthly disability rights magazine whose readers’ only special needs are for human rights and straight talk.

As we celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act this month, we look back at how far we have come. And, how hard the fight has been. And it’s not over! Be sure you are out there advocating for disability rights and services. Contact your local CIL and find out how to be involved.
