🗳️ Your Vote. Your Voice. Your Right.

Every eligible voter deserves equal access to the ballot box. If you have a disability, you have the right to vote independently, privately, and without discrimination.

Did you know you have the right to:
✅ Accessible polling places
✅ Accessible voting machines (including audio, touchscreen, and Braille options)
✅ Assistance with voting if you need it
✅ Protection from intimidation, discrimination, and harassment

Barriers like inaccessible buildings, transportation challenges, communication barriers, or misinformation should never prevent someone from exercising their right to vote.

Your voice matters because the decisions made by elected officials affect healthcare, transportation, housing, disability services, education, and community accessibility.

If you have questions about voting rights or need assistance accessing voting resources, CILO is here to help. Call us at (561) 966-4288 or scan the QR code on the flyer for more information.

Together, we can help ensure every voice is heard.

PBS KIDS’ Carl the Collector made history as the network’s first series centered around autistic main characters — but the representation didn’t stop on screen. 💚

Neurodivergent writers, advisers, animators and voice actors helped shape the show, including autistic actor Kai Barham, who voices Carl. The team worked with autistic people throughout production to help make the characters feel authentic rather than simply writing autism from an outside perspective.

Now the series has won two Children’s & Family Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Writing for a Preschool Animated Series — a pretty incredible milestone for a show built with autistic voices at its heart.

Representation is growing in children’s TV, but there’s still plenty of room for more. What other autistic characters or shows have your family loved watching? 👇
