Tornados Delay REV UP Disability Vote Launch By Two Days

The national launch of REV UP in Houston is delayed two days because of a tornado warning in Houston.   On Tuesday, February 25th^rd  11am at TIRR Memorial Hermann, 1333 Moursund Houston, Texas.  The American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD), along with Texas Disability Project, Disability Rights Texas and other disability advocacy groups will launch the national ‘REV UP’ America-Make the DISABILITY VOTE Count campaign. The event was originally scheduled for February 23.  February 25 is also the date of the Republican debate in Houston.

The REV UP Campaign recognizes that there is a DISABILITY VOTE and that people with disabilities and our supporters will vote for candidates that address issues of concern to the disability community and who outreach to get that vote.   Disability Rights to Voting Power follows the evolution of other civil rights movements.

‘REV UP’ stands for Register, Educate, Vote, Use, Power. The REV UP event promotes the growing influence of the DISABILITY VOTE nationwide.   REV UP will also work to ensure access to the polls on Election Day for Americans with disabilities.

Launch.

Tom Olin and the Road to Freedom Bus Tour will be a focal point of the national launch of REV UP.  Making the disability vote count in 2016 is essential for the disability community.
