Register for Department of Justice ADA Event: Addressing the Criminalization of People with Disabilities

NYAPRS Note: The US Department of Justice is hosting an event commemorating the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on July 25, from 1-3pm EST. The event, Addressing the Criminalization of People with Disabilities, will focus on the people with disabilities’ overinvolvement in the criminal justice system. We are extremely happy to have facilitated the inclusion of NYAPRS Board Member and New York City Regional Coordinator Helen “Skip” Skipper in this wonderful program. Skip is the Executive Director of the NYC Justice Peer Initiative which seeks to grow the Justice Peer workforce and increase peer support for justice involved people. You can register to attend the event online or in person through this link. See below for more information.
