We are committed to ensuring DeafBlind individuals receive the support they need to live independently, access resources, and fully participate in society. We stand with the DeafBlind community in urging the government to prioritize funding for these critical services. The well-being and empowerment of DeafBlind individuals cannot wait, and we encourage immediate action to address this pressing issue.

The #CanadaDisabilityBenefit is at risk of not starting in July 2025. We call on the Government of Canada to urgently finalize the CDB regulations and #GuaranteeTheCDB. People with disabilities can’t wait any longer. If CDB regulations aren’t finalized quickly, this urgent benefit could be further delayed – this is unacceptable. Together we can make a difference. Join us as we urge the Government of Canada to Guarantee the CDB. Make your voice heard now! https://bit.ly/42ajcBS. #disability #advocacy #CanadaDisabilityBenefit @JustinTrudeau @KamalKheraLib @DLeBlancNB @GinettePT @viraniarif
