RICV Disability Advocacy Teams

Resources for Independence Central Valley has formulated Disability Advocacy Teams in Merced, Fresno, and Visalia. The purpose of these teams is to meet every month to tackle an issue pertinent to their local disability community, while learning about advocacy, disability legislation, and other efforts to participate in. Each team has begun their work by identifying the first topic they will address.
