The Promise of Olmstead by John McCarty
Stories have always been used to connect, inspire, heal and create a better world. We at Uniting for Change believe in the power of our stories. We believe that storytelling is personal, intentional and can help a grassroots movement grow and build community. We must work together to tell our stories as self-advocates so that our hopes and dreams, gifts and capacities, choice and autonomy are recognized by all citizens of Georgia. We welcome all self-advocates to submit their stories, poetry, and post their artwork so that we can join together as one in our efforts to have the life we want and deserve!
