RESCHEDULED: IDEA 50th Anniversary Celebration! 🥳

Due to inclement weather, we are rescheduling the event to Monday, December 15, maintaining the same time and location:

📅 Monday, December 15
⏰ 4–5 PM
📍 Rep. Valerie Foushee’s Office — 2605 Meridian Pkwy, Suite 110

Our purpose remains unchanged: to celebrate 50 years of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and to call on Congress to fully fund IDEA and protect public education. And yes, we will still be marking the occasion with birthday cards — and cake. 🎂
