    Access to funding is essential for fostering opportunities and independence for individuals with developmental disabilities. Unfortunately, the provincial government is falling short in providing these vital resources, in Ontario.   **Severe Funding Shortfalls Impacting People with Developmental Disabilities**   Over 52,000 individuals are currently on waiting lists for critical supports and services due to significant funding shortfalls in the sector. Since 1993, the Ontario government has increased core funding to support agencies by less than 7%, while the cost of living has surged by over 60% in that same period. Developmental services agencies across the province, including those in Essex County, are expressing that the system is no longer sustainable.   These services are not luxuries; they are lifelines that assist people with developmental and intellectual disabilities in their daily activities. They enable individuals to live and work in their communities while providing much-needed support and respite for their families. Supportive services include teaching basic life skills, helping with medications and appointments, and assisting individuals in finding homes, jobs, and community activities, allowing them to truly belong.   The "Journey to Belonging: Choice and Inclusion," initiated under Minister Todd Smith in 2020, is a ten-year initiative aimed at empowering people with developmental disabilities to gain more control and opportunities in their lives. However, with over 52,000 individuals currently on waiting lists for supports and services, systemic change and significant increases in resources are necessary to achieve this goal.   “It hasn't been funded properly,” states Community Living Ontario CEO Chris Beesley. “You can create a vision and be aspirational, but unless you provide the necessary resources, it's meaningless."   Community Living Essex County and the broader developmental services sector are urgently urging the Ontario government to take action. There are 52,000 individuals with intellectual disabilities who are waiting for the chance to belong—not to a service system, but to vibrant communities where they can contribute and be valued.   Karen Bolger, the Executive Director at Community Living Essex County, and Corey Dalgleish, the Director of Community Living Operations, joined me this week to shed light on the urgency of this matter.

    With the stroke of a pen, the twice-impeached, criminally convicted felon-in-chief dismantled affirmative action in federal contracting. On Tuesday, the Office of Personnel Management issued a memo instructing agencies to place Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion office staff on paid leave and all public DEI-focused web pages must be taken down by 5p EST today. Eventually, these employees are expected to be laid off. This executive order on affirmative action revokes a directive issued by President Lyndon Johnson and limits DEI programs for federal contractors and grant recipients.

These poignant objects create moments for reflection, and awareness of the invisible history that hides behind modern city streets. Here in the United States, we have important points of history that often go unnoticed.

    The global gag rule, which prevents non-governmental organizations who receive U.S. global health funding from providing, counseling on, referring for, or advocating for abortion in their own country and using their own, private resources, has been reinstated by President Trump. Lori Adelman, Executive Director of Planned Parenthood Global, and Caitlin Horrigan, Senior Director of Global Advocacy at Planned Parenthood Federation of America, sits down to talk with us about what the expanded global gag rule is, what it means for health practitioners and patients abroad, and how it can be repealed.When the global gag rule is in place, there is a deep disrupting in health service delivery, bolstering an anti-human rights agenda globally, undermining trust in medical providers, and weakening civil society allies. Communities have less access to centralized, essential care, which can force people to turn to unsafe methods of abortion. Thankfully, there are policy solutions. The Global Health, Empowerment, and Rights Act (Global HER Act), which was reintroduced this week, would take away presidential power to reinstate the global gag rule. Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

    About the Guest: Nikole Nelson is the founding CEO of Frontline Justice and former Executive Director of the Alaska Legal Services Corporation. She has dedicated 25 years to enhancing access to justice, especially in rural communities, by developing innovative legal aid solutions that are community-led and people-centered. Nikole was instrumental in launching the Partnering for Native Health initiative, a medical-legal partnership that received the 2019 World Justice Challenge Award. She has also driven significant reforms, including changes to unauthorized practice of law regulations that benefit justice workers in Alaska. Nikole is actively involved as a member of the American Bar Association's Standing Committee on Legal Aid and Indigenous Defense (SCLAID) and the Legal Services Corporation's Rural Justice Task Force. Episode Summary: In this episode, Linda Odermott, host of the Paralegal Real Talk series, introduces Nikole Nelson, a pioneering advocate in the field of legal aid. Nikole shares insights into the development and success of Alaska's groundbreaking Community Justice Worker (CJW) project. Alaska's unique challenges, with vast remote areas and limited legal resources, led to innovative solutions that leveraged local community structures in bridging the justice gap. Nikole discusses how collaborations with the healthcare sector inspired strategies that train non-attorneys to deliver vital legal aid. The episode dives deeply into how these efforts first began with the establishment of the Partnering for Native Health project — a collaboration with the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium — and how this initiative achieved remarkable success by extending legal assistance through trained community justice workers. This innovative model of delivering legal aid has not only enhanced accessibility in underserved regions but also set a precedent across multiple states now looking to emulate Alaska's success. Nikole passionately describes the vision of Frontline Justice to expand this approach nationwide, ensuring that every community receives the legal care they need. Key Takeaways: Alaska's Community Justice Worker project aims to bridge the justice gap by training non-attorney community members to provide essential legal services in rural and underserved areas. The success of this program leaned significantly on partnerships with existing healthcare infrastructures, demonstrating the power of cross-sector collaboration. Nikole Nelson emphasizes the importance of starting pragmatic, incremental steps in addressing legal needs rather than attempting to solve all complex legal problems at once. The program has enabled millions in SNAP benefits to be accessed and has seen a 100% success rate in the cases it has taken on. The discussion expands into the national landscape, where Frontline Justice is helping other states look to adopt similar community-led justice initiatives.
