Brooklyn Developmental Disabilities Council

EvoAutism Foundation, a New York nonprofit that changes how autism is understood through authentic stories and cultural experiences is hosting an Idea Generation Brunch for The People’s Money, the NYC Civic Engagement Commission’s participatory budgeting process, on Sunday, November 8, from 10:00 to 12:00 at Positive Exposure gallery, 83 Maiden Lane. Participants will propose improvements to city services and public spaces that can receive city funding, and the voices of Council families and self-advocates are exactly what this process needs.

Attached is the NYDA one pager describing our budget asks. These will be our OPWDD budget requests at least between now and the release of the Governor’s budget proposal, so feel free to share widely and talk with legislators.

If any changes are made once the Governor’s budget is presented, we’ll let you know and provide the updated one-pager.
