Join other self advocates around the city of Boston, we are looking for new people to join us to discuss the issues facing self advocates.

Metro will be talking voting and doing your political homework. Bills in the state house that pertain to issues like camera’s in common areas of group homes and what now that Nicky’s Law has passed.

Many of the Metro region self-advocates are regular attendees of MASS Legislative Education Day at the State House.

Metro Region Human Rights Forum, 2019 Advocacy Through Art was well attended with over 100 people browsing art from some of our best in the region. Thank you to TILL Wave Gallery for holding the Art showing.

Jeffrey Paquette: “My painting represents the brave person that I am to face the challenges I am presented with due to my vision impairment.”

Emily Bill: “I make art to help people to get to know me and the things I am capable of doing.”
