May 30, 2024(3 events) All day: 2024 Caravan for Disability Freedom and Justice All day The Caravan for Disability Freedom and Justice has been traversing the country stopping in several states to share its message about the importance of the disability vote and awareness of our history and impact on this country’s legislation.
As part of the Peaches to Palmettos route of the tour, the Caravan is scheduled to be in Savannah at several locations beginning May 30th and is scheduled to be at LIFE at on May 31st at 11:00 AM!
The red, white, and blue flag-wrapped Caravan for Disability Freedom and Justice will connect with local disability-related organizations, please see full schedule below (schedule is subject to change):
Thursday May 30, 2024 9:30 Savannah Center for Blind & Low Vision 1141 Cornell Ave (912)236-4473 Contact person: Anika Futch 11:00 EmployAbility 7209 Seawright Dr 912-644-7500 Contact Person : Shenequa Gresham 12:30 Juliette Gordon Low Museum 10 E Oglethorpe Ave 912-233-4501 Contact Person : Danielle Christian

Center for Independent Living located at 4811 Waters Avenue in Savannah for refreshments & photo ops! Please call LIFE at 912-920-2414 with any questions. More about the Caravan:
One issue of national focus the caravan is highlighting is the LaTonya Reeves Freedom Act, which is bipartisan and bicameral civil rights legislation that addresses the injustice of people who need Long Term Services and Supports (LTSS) being forced into institutions. The legislation, previously known as the Disability Integration Act, builds upon decades of disability advocacy and activism to end the institutional bias and provide seniors and people with disabilities Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) as an alternative to institutionalization. For more information on this act, please visit: https://latonyareevesfreedomact.org Additionally, the goal is to shine a light on all that has gone before by honoring and celebrating people and places significant to our 100-plus year struggle for freedom and justice. This is done by sharing stories that connect people to our rich history of activism and advocacy and its relevance to current national, regional, and local issues.
