All People Have the Right to Work
All people, regardless of what disability they have, have the right to work a job they choose and matches their skills and personal interests.
Help Influence Public Policy
Public policies must support people with disabilities having real jobs. Money for services should be spent on people having jobs in the community.
How You Can Get Involved
Just calling your state an Employment First state is not enough. “Employment First” is when everyone who wants a job, has a job. People like you can make a difference.
