EASTERSEALS WORK CENTER
______
HON. JEFFERSON VAN DREW
of new jersey
in the house of representatives
Monday, November 1, 2021
Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, ``Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.'' These words are not to be taken lightly, and they are certainly not exclusive to one class. That is the beauty of our nation--that all individuals are afforded the opportunity to better themselves and their place in society. Easterseals is an organization that adheres to that principle: independence. Easterseals, for generations, has given the most vulnerable and overlooked community a chance at independence through employment. The Easterseals organization has been an advocate for those with disabilities. It offers them the opportunity for success in areas of employment and in education. In a similar vein, Easterseals continues helping those individuals and families dealing with disabilities, helping them secure the same independence and freedom to pursue ``Life, liberty and Happiness.'' God Bless, Easterseals, and all those who participate in the program, and God Bless America.
