“If you do nothing, nothing happens.” This is one of Marion Resnick’s mantras. One of the Executive Committee members of NYC Family Advocacy Information Resource (NYC FAIR), Resnick has been fighting for decades to make sure that New Yorkers with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) receive the support they are entitled to and need to thrive. She is one of many citizen advocates, a group that includes parents, siblings, and people with I/DD that advocate for themselves. And the job has never been more demanding.
