Rise Up Speak Out Coalition

The Rise Up Speak Out Coalition is a group of self-advocates and their allies and supporters from Uniting for Change who are working to create welcoming and inclusive communities while strengthening self-advocacy and the visibility of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The coalition is working in the Ringgold, Macon and Tifton communities. The coalition is supported by Sangha Unity Network with a grant from the Human Services Research Institute (HSRI).

Uniting for Change is supported by Sangha Unity Network, Inc., a non-profit organization in Winder, Georgia that received the Expanding Self-Advocacy grant from the Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities. This project was supported, in part by grant number 2001GASCDD-03, from the U.S. Administration for Community Living, Department of Health and Human Services, Washington, D.C. 20201. Grantees undertaking projects with government sponsorship are encouraged to express freely their findings and conclusions. Points of view or opinions do not, therefore, necessarily represent official ACL policy.
