An Update on the Disability Community Candidate Forum
After careful consideration, the Consumer Council System of Maine, Disability Rights Maine, the Maine Developmental Disabilities Council, Speaking Up for Us, and the University of Maine Center for Community Inclusion and Disability Studies have decided to cancel the candidate forum scheduled for September 29th. Ongoing scheduling challenges prevented us from hosting the forum as intended.
To replace the forum, all candidates for Governor and Congress have been asked to record a brief video highlighting their disability policy positions. With these videos, our collaborative hopes to increase the visibility and importance of disability issues among Maine’s electorate. We expect to release the videos by the end of September.
Thank you, and we apologize for any inconvenience.
