new blog from nj council on developmental disabilties

November 10, 2009

Dear Friends and Colleagues:

I am reaching out to you on behalf of the NJ Council on Developmental

Disabilities to tell you about a new blog they've launched called

JustSaySomething.org. The blog, which is part of a larger public awareness

campaign, encourages people to speak up about issues that affect people with

developmental disabilities. The campaign facilitates positive dialog and

encourages discussion, both about things that are favorable to people with

disabilities, and those that are not.

The blog also includes monitoring the media for issues and situations that

affect people with developmental disabilities. Visit the blog's In the News

page to see what stories have been posted and to read what people are

saying.

The Council is also inviting community groups and organizations to host a

Community Conversation. These dynamic events bring together local law

makers, elected officials, business owners, community providers, people with

disabilities and families to discuss ways in which people with disabilities

can contribute to their communities in meaningful ways, and to collectively

identify barriers and common goals. Click here to read more about three

recent conversations sponsored by the Council.

If you are interested in hosting a Community Conversation, please let me

know. Technical support and guidance are available if you are interested in

hosting a Community Conversation of your own.

The Council also encourages you to post a link to the JustSaySomething.org

blog on your organization's website.

Please visit JustSaySomething.org today and join the conversation! You can

also sign up to get the monthly JustSaySomething.org e-newsletter.

Thanks,

Considine
