Carol Westlake, founder and executive director of the Tennessee Disability Coalition, on lessons learned in 35 years of disability advocacy in Tennessee.
On April 25th, the Tennessee General Assembly adjourned sine die, concluding the 2nd year of the 113th General Assembly. Read this to see how the Tennessee disability community fared this year!
We made it! The General Assembly members have concluded their work for the year (as have we) and they are blessedly headed home for the year (to campaign). All in all, dear reader, we had another pretty darn good year. We, of course, did not win every battle, but we won a lot of them and flexed some disability community muscle.
