    VSA All Access Pass Badge

    Please join us at an All Access Pass tour to learn more about our work towards educational and cultural inclusion in the arts.  We are hosting tours of VSA Massachusetts as a way to bring our mission to a wider audience.  The tour takes no more than one hour.  You'll hear a welcome from board and staff members and then take a guided tour of our work.  We'll share some inspiring stories about how the arts transform our communities and create opportunities for inclusion.

    Upcoming tour dates:
    Wednesday, November 20, 2013    12:00pm - 1:00pm
    Tuesday, December 10, 2013    12:00pm - 1:00pm
    Thursday, January 9, 2014    5:45pm - 6:45pm

    People have told us they are inspired by our stories and are impressed by our Open Door Gallery.  Daytime and evening hours are available.  We can also host a tour if you have a group interested in visiting on a different date.

    To reserve a spot and request ASL interpretation or other accommodations, contact Kati Blair Kotrc at 617-350-7713 x101 or kati@vsamass.org.

    A Message From David Morrissey, U.S. International Council on Disabilities

    Inclusion, Dignity, Equality

    CRPD (Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities) Hearing in the United States Senate - November 5th.

    WE NEED YOUR HELP!

    The end is in sight!  Now is the time to have our voices be heard!

    Chairman Menendez has scheduled the first of two Hearings on the CRPD on Nov 5th!

    The coalition has launched today a new citizen action portal to make it easier than ever for you to reach your Senator with the calls, letters, e-mails, petitions and social media we need.

    Senator Menendez and Senator Corker need to hear from everyone; they are logging all call and contacts made state by state.  Your help spreading the word will determine if and when we get floor time passage of this treaty!  It is time for action NOW!

    Let them hear you now so that when Medicaid, Education and other issues come to the Hill they once again know the power of the disability movement!
