End the Waitlists

Help the thousands who are waiting for services for themselves or their loved ones! Join together with The National Organization to End the Wait Lists (NOEWAIT), a grass-roots, national, social justice movement organized to ensure full opportunity, choices, freedom, and self-determination for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in every community by eliminating wait lists for services in every state. This will be accomplished through public education, mobilizing people into action, and changing public policy.

NOEWAIT is gathering thousands of signatures for a petition to urge the President and Congress to provide community-based services for our most vulnerable citizens who currently get no services and languish on "waitlists." To sign the petition and to learn more about NOEWAIT go to www.noewait.net
