June 22, 2009 is the 10th anniversary of the Olmstead decision, declaring that people with disabilities have a right to live in the community and not in nursing homes and other institutions. It is a great opportunity for people with disabilities to come together to make sure that the dream of Olmstead becomes a reality! Given the talk of health care reform in Washington DC, and concern about whether or not President Obama and the federal government will make sure that community-based choices are included, publicizing the Olmstead anniversary is more important than ever.
