You are receiving this because the Maine Parent Federation values your work in the State of Maine for Individuals with Disabilities.
After taking the week to receive technical assistance about the impact of the proposed 2026 Presidential Budget to not only our agency but many disability agencies in our state we are reaching out to ask for your support. We realize you may have received a similar sign on letter but that letter was composed prior to the release of the actual budget and therefore did not include all the proposed reductions. In an effort to provide the most accurate information to our national Congressional Delegation, MPF has composed this letter which we hope you consider signing onto. As you will see in this letter if passed this budget would eliminate federal funding to Preschool Grants, Parent Training and Information Centers (Maine Parent Federation), Protection and Advocacy of Individual Rights (Disability Rights Maine), University Centers for Developmental Disabilities (Center for Community Inclusion and Disability Studies), and Centers for Independent Living (Alpha One). Additionally, there is a significant reduction in funding for Offices of Civil Rights and the Boston office which serves Maine has already been shuttered. Please consider signing onto this letter to show bi-partisan support for individuals with disabilities living in Maine. Thank you for your support. Maine Parent Federation |
