Arc Action Alert – Support Community

Last week the U.S. Federal Court issued a temporary restraining order that stops the transition of Murray Developmental Center residents moving into the community; a court hearing is scheduled for September 9th. Murray Center is scheduled to close at the end of October but this court ruling could slow down or even stop the closure!It is time to take action and show our support for self-advocates living in the community by closing state institutions through the Going Home Federal Court Outreach effort.
