A senate RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE march 4, 2026, AS "disability advocacy 
DAY" IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

Whereas, this year 
marks the thirty-seventh annual Disability Advocacy Day. This event is a vital 
opportunity for individuals with disabilities, their families, and supporters 
to engage directly with lawmakers and share their stories; and

Whereas, one in three 
South Carolinians has a disability. These individuals, like all others, deserve 
the right to live, work, and fully participate in their communities throughout 
their lifetimes; and

Whereas, people with 
disabilities have the right to equal opportunities to live full, productive 
lives as valued citizens. They have the right to receive the support they need 
to exercise self-determination, to achieve independence, and to become productive 
members in the workplace; and

Whereas, the South 
Carolina Partnership of Disability Organizations helps bring the concerns of 
people with disabilities to the forefront of public awareness; and

Whereas, the South 
Carolina Partnership of Disability Organizations has become a credible source 
of information for policymakers, advocates, self-advocates, and the public 
about the issues that are important to individuals with disabilities; and

Whereas, the purpose of 
Disability Advocacy Day is to increase awareness and understanding among 
legislators, administrators, policymakers, and the public about the issues that 
are important to individuals with disabilities. Disability Advocacy Day 
provides a platform to highlight the challenges faced by South Carolinians with 
disabilities and propose solutions to ensure that everyone has access to the 
services and opportunities they deserve. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the 
South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, 
recognize March 4, 2026, as "Disability Advocacy Day" in South Carolina.
