Yesterday was advocacy in action. 🏛️Our 2nd Annual Disability Awareness Day at the Capitol was everything — and more.What started as an idea to bring the disability community to the table has grown into one of the most powerful days on our calendar. This year, we filled the halls of the Capitol with voices, stories, and solutions.A highlight of the day was a fireside chat with Secretary Bruce D. Greenstein of the Louisiana Department of Health — a candid, solutions-focused conversation about the future of disability health and wellness in our state.From meaningful one-on-one conversations with legislators and advocates to real dialogue with state leadership, the day was a reminder that when we show up, things shift.Disability rights are not a niche issue — they are a human issue. And the Gulf Coast is showing up to lead that conversation.To every advocate, ally, lawmaker, and community member who joined us — thank you. See you next year. 💚hashtag#DisabilityAwareness hashtag#Advocacy hashtag#SplitSecondFoundation hashtag#NewOrleans hashtag#DisabilityRights hashtag#Inclusion hashtag#CapitolDay hashtag#LouisianaDepartmentOfHealth
