Video Transcript
An estimated 1 in 5 Minnesotans' health, safety, and dignity are at risk because of our failing direct support system — jeopardizing people with disabilities and older adults relying on direct support, workers delivering those supports, provider organizations coordinating those supports, as well as our families, our friends, and our broader communities. Minnesotans for Direct Support Improvements believe everyone should be able to participate in their chosen communities — to live, learn, work, and enjoy life.
We also believe that — as members of our democratic society — each of us has an obligation to address the needs of our society, govern for the common good, and sustain a just democracy.
So, please join us to support each other’s health, safety, and dignity. Subscribe to our updates at Join.MNs4DSI.net Then, check out some of our recent videos and playlists to learn more.
We look forward to meeting you and working with you so Minnesota is a place where everyone is able to participate in their chosen communities — to live, learn, work, and enjoy life.
Thank you.
