Advocate

UCP of New York City is a longtime leader in advocating for the rights of individuals with disabilities. As the founding affiliate of the UCP national network,  our historical efforts raising awareness gave birth to great advances in care for children and adults with disabilities, as well as to the civil rights movement responsible for the Americans with Disabilities Act.

With looming cuts to the New York State Medicaid budget, we are asking our families and supporters to speak up now and help us preserve funding for critical services.
