6/23/24 Join National ADAPT for the 25th Anniversary Rally of the Olmstead Decision in North Carolina!

Date: Sunday, June 23, 2024

Time: 2 pm till 4 pm

Location: Halifax mall 300 N Salisbury Street Raleigh NC 27603

This event aims to raise awareness about the importance of the Olmstead Decision and its implementation in North Carolina. The Olmstead Decision, a landmark decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1999, has been a beacon of hope for many, asserting the right of people with disabilities to live and receive services in the most integrated setting. However, there is a growing concern that Olmstead is not being fully implemented in North Carolina.

This rally will shed light on these issues and advocate for compliance with the Olmstead Decision. We believe that every citizen should be aware of their rights and the protections available to them. This event will provide an opportunity to learn more about the Olmstead decision, its mandate, and how it can be implemented in our state.

Participants will hear from speakers who are experts in the field, as well as individuals who have benefited from the Olmstead Decision. Join us for a day of education and community!

Water will be provided. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own chairs. No restrooms onsite.
