Hyper-Local Advocacy
Disability rights are civil rights and advocacy is essential to making our community a better place to live for individuals with special needs and disabilities. Greenville CAN’s advocacy efforts are considered “hyper-local.” Instead of speaking to legislators in Columbia and Washington DC, our focus in on speaking with City and County Council members.
How You Can Help
- Know your rights… Check out the information listed in “Accessibility / ADA” on our website.
- Go to the City Council meetings for the city you live in. If you do not live in an incorporated area then attend Greenville County Council meetings. Citizens are allowed to address councils at their meetings.
- Share Accessibility / ADA challenges with the ADA Coordinator for the City or County where the challenged occurred. Click here for the contact information of our local ADA Coordinators.
