Road to Freedom Bus Tour Comes to Biloxi

Tom Olin and The Road to Freedom Bus Tour are in Biloxi, Mississippi to spend time with the disability community. LIFE is hosting an event Friday, January 15 at The Lighthouse from 11:00-1:00pm.  The Lighthouse, which survived Katrina, is a beacon of hope and endurance to the people of Biloxi. Emergency preparedness and response that includes people with disabilities is stressed by Living Independence For Everyone (LIFE).   Special thanks to Christy Dunaway, who facilitated the stop.

 The Bus is coming off an extended stay in Florida for mechanical attention. The next stop will be Austin, Texas where the focus is REV UP and get out the disability vote.(GOTV). We are moving into an election year so registering people with disabilities to vote and GOTV is critical. "Vote as if your life depended on it, because it does." Justin Dart, Jr.

After Austin we will be traveling the southern route to the west coast.  Anyone interested in hosting the Road to Freedom Bus Tour, please contact Janine Bertram at janinebk@mac.com or David Fulton at davefulton@me.com. The Road to Freedom Bus Tour has modules to support local community efforts and is a great media magnet.
