The Ladd Vigil, scheduled for May 31st from 1:00 pm to June 3rd at 1:00 am, is a way to remind people about the fact that it has been closed for 15 years, that RI made a promise to provide support to individuals with disabilities and each year attempts to compromise services through level funding, funding cuts, re-defining regulations, etc. Out of frustration, the vigil is being held at the Ladd School memorial in order to draw attention to the success of service for people with disabilities, and have it lead up to the June 3 rally, at the State House in Providence.

The vigil is not intended to be loud or festive, as the rallies are, but a way to draw attention to how successful RI has been support people with disabilities so that they become part of their community, work and contribute.

Perspectives hopes to get a minimum of 25 people per hour, around the clock, to demonstrate the seriousness of less and less support from our legislature and governor. Each agency has an assigned block, and is expected to coordinate personnel for that block of time.

Anyone who would like to participate should contact Casey Gartland at (401) 294-3990 or cgartland@perspectivescorporation.com
