It will be the only national event to focus specifically on disability issues. Why should your political candidates attend?
There are 57 million people with disabilities in the United States, meaning that roughly 1 in 5 Americans have a disability (source: 2000 census).Ask YOUR candidates to come discuss their platforms on disability issues by visiting: http://www.nfdi.org/invite_candidates/
CNN reports that Approximately 21 million American families include at least one member with a disability, and over 65 million Americans are caring for family members with disabilities.
According to the Disability Funders Network, between 1990 and 2000, the number of Americans with disabilities increased 25 percent, outpacing any other subgroup of the U.S. population.
The National Forum on Disability Issues will be streamed "live" via the Internet. In many cities across the United States, organizations are planning webcast "viewing parties."
