Unfortunately, there still are various public facilities and services that are not accessible. Thanks to the assistance of a Disability Rights Maryland (DRM) friend who identified a trashcan obstructing the path to a ballot drop-off box in Frederick County, DRM successfully had the the barrier removed to insure accessibility.
Help DRM identify inaccessible drop box and ballot locations by contacting our voter hotline by phone at 443-692-2492; 800-233-7201 ext. 2492; TTY 410-235-5387, or by email at Voting@DisabilityRightsMD.org. And don't forget the DRM's 2020 Breaking Barriers Gala Awards Banquet on November 12, 2020 at 6:30-7:30 p.m. The Breaking Barriers Awards Gala is DRM's signature celebration where individuals, law firms and organizations that have demonstrated exceptional leadership, vision and achievement in safeguarding the legal rights of people with disabilities in Maryland are recognized and honored. Funds raised at the Gala will directly support DRM and expand their ability to provide legal assistance so that Marylanders with disabilities, regardless of income, age or race, can live full independent lives in the community.
At this event, the DRM will honor Floyd Hartley On Behalf Of CARS, Gayle Hafner Grassroots Advocacy Award; Wade Henderson, Judith Heumann Champion Of Justice Award; Judith E. Heumann, Presenter, Judith Heumann Champion Of Justice Award; and Andrew D. Levy, Lorraine Sheehan Lifetime Achievement Award.
