The 21st Annual Key Campaign has descended up Juneau this week in full force. An advocacy effort to persuade the Alaska Legislature to fund services for people with disabilities, this year's Key will kick off early this year.
"Here Comes the Sun" is the theme for this year and highlights that it's time to end the four-year rate freeze for the funding of disability services.
Campaigners will be meeting with lawmakers and going over the campaign's legislative priorities for 208, which include: a $3.5 million increase for caregiver pay and an authorization for Disability and Senior Services to begin taking 50 people off the statewide wait list every quarter in the coming year.
Photos and updates will be available here next week. Stay tuned!
