Biography
on
The Self Advocacy Group Powerhouse
In April of 2001, a group of people got together to form the self-advocacy group, Powerhouse, a grassroots organization. Their primary goal is “the continual awareness of each consumer`s rights, dignities, and inclusion in an advancing society”.
Powerhouse aims to strip dated restrictions and stereotypes from the public forum, and showcase each consumer`s abilities and contributions as productive citizens, to local and state agencies.
In March of 2002 Powerhouse received three separate awards from the Massachusetts State House and organized a formal rally in June of the same year. As Powerhouse chairperson, I will continue to fight for my constituent`s honorable representation and influence government in their communities.
