Local Rally for Disability Support and Workforce Funding

Road to Responsibility members, caregivers, and advocates from across the South Shore will gather for the South of Boston Caring Force Rally to call for increased state funding and workforce support for human services.

The rally will take place on Friday, April 10, 2026, starting at 9:00 a.m., with the program beginning at 10:00 a.m., at the DoubleTree Rockland, located at 929 Hingham Street in Rockland, MA.

The event will feature speakers from leading human services organizations, personal stories from individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and a legislative panel with State Senator Dylan Fernandes, State Representative Joan Meschino, and State Senator Patrick O’Connor.

Key issues being addressed at the rally include increasing funding for human services workforce wages, addressing staffing shortages impacting care, creating student loan repayment programs for workers, and ensuring equitable pay for human services professionals.

Road to Responsibility members, caregivers, and staff will be in attendance and available to share firsthand perspectives on how funding and staffing challenges impact daily lives.
