March is an important moment for wheelchair repair in Massachusetts.
This is the part of the legislative process where showing up matters. Where lawmakers need to hear directly from the people living with the consequences when systems do not work as they should.
That is why we are hosting a Legislative Briefing on the Massachusetts Wheelchair Repair Bills (H.4358 and S.2662). This briefing creates space for wheelchair users to share what delayed and denied repairs actually mean for daily life, mobility, and independence.
It is also a chance for allies to show up, listen, and stand alongside wheelchair users as legislators learn what is at stake.
~Wednesday, March 12 12:00–2:00 PM Massachusetts State House,
~Hearing Room B1 Accessible entrance, directly in front of security
We encourage wheelchair users to attend in person if you are able. Being seen in the room matters. If attending in person is not possible, a virtual option will be available.
