10 AM - 12 PM
SC Statehouse & LIVESTREAM
This year's event is planned with hybrid options, where you can participate in person or online. Participate with us at the Statehouse or anywhere in the world via our Livestream online!
People with disabilities face unnecessary and discriminatory barriers to transportation, housing, and healthcare. Advocacy Day for Access and Independence will call on South Carolina lawmakers to unlock these barriers!
We seek to improve the lives of South Carolinians with disabilities by opening our communities up to accommodate disabled and non-disabled people, together!
Register for Advocacy Day for Access & Independence!
Join us and our official event Emcees, Dori Tempio of Able South Carolina, and Will Farrior of South Carolina Developmental Disabilities Council!
We will be at the SC Statehouse with speakers on the steps, calling on our lawmakers to make SC Barrier Free
