The Pennsylvania Waiting List Campaign

Important alert from the DRN of pa!

A New National Listserv for the Waiting List - "NOEWAIT" - For more information, please visit the NOEWAIT WEBSITE

NOEWAIT needs Petition help in Pennsylvania. Let's help push the Petition numbers over the top.

Pennsylvania has over 20,000 people waiting for community services and supports. Yet, only 600 people in Pennsylvania have signed the NOEWAIT petition to End the Wait List. In comparison, Florida has over 2,500 folks who have signed the petition!

Let’s get behind the petition and show our collective strength. Pennsylvania should be able to gather 10,000 signatures on our own! Please sign on and get all your interested family and friends. NOEWAIT is pushing to have 10,000 signatures by September 30, 2009. Right now, NOEWAIT has 8,500 signatures.
