As we recently shared, Judy Moiseff, a longtime friend of SANYS and an incredibly powerful self-advocate, has passed away.

Judy served as a SANYS Americorps volunteer for two years and went on to volunteer with SANYS for many years after that. Judy was a Willowbrook survivor who was proud to live in her own apartment. She represented our organization over the years while giving numerous speeches and presentations on so many important topics, including independent living, accessible transportation, medical advocacy, communication, and relationships and sexuality. Judy was a past recipient of the “Self-Advocate of the Year” award at our statewide conference, and was also a close friend of self-advocates everywhere.
