Upcoming: Meeting with Senator Jim Abeler — Legislative Pathways

On March 18th at 11:00 AM, we are scheduled to meet with Senator Jim Abeler to discuss the proposal and explore potential legislative pathways for the Disability Independence Act.

On March 18, 2026 at 11:00 AM, our campaign team is scheduled to meet with Senator Jim Abeler — a key figure in Minnesota's health and human services policy landscape.

This meeting is an opportunity to present the full scope of our proposal, share the growing number of petition signatures, and discuss concrete legislative pathways for moving the Disability Independence Act forward.

Senator Abeler has a long history of engagement on disability and health care issues. We are hopeful this meeting will open the door to formal legislative support.
