  Who are we<\/h2>\n
  Self Advocates of Monroe County is an advocacy organization that empowers people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. As self-advocates, we are citizens who speak out and educate for equal rights, respect, and inclusion for all in the community. Self-advocacy is standing up for my rights, being in charge of my life, and being treated with respect.<\/p>\n
  We believe that all people with disabilities are entitled to a full life, complete with equal rights, respect, and inclusion in the community. Today, we are carrying on that message along with more than 40 similar chapters across the State, in affiliation with the Self Advocates of Indiana.<\/p>\n
  Self-advocacy is important because it is a way for people to know that all people, including people with disabilities, have rights. We help people understand that we want to be treated with respect. It is a way for our voice to be heard.<\/p>\n
  Self Advocates of Monroe County meets monthly, on the 1^{st<\/sup> Wednesday of every month at 6:30pm. The meetings are currently held at Stone Belt, 2815 E. Tenth Street, Bloomington.
