Episode 1: The Fight for Services — Why Taking Care of Each Other Is the Only Way Forward

When did we stop looking out for each other?
In this first episode of The On Target Podcast, Dr. Matthew J. Ramsey, CEO of Target Community & Educational Services, joins us for a conversation that cuts to the heart of who we are—and who we could be.

Every year, vital services for individuals with disabilities are threatened, underfunded, or dismissed. But this isn’t just about budgets or policies. It’s about people. It’s about families, futures, dignity, and the kind of society we choose to build.

We explore why community support is not charity—it’s survival. We dive into real stories of lives transformed by access to services, and we confront the hard truth about what’s at stake when we let those services disappear.

Because when we lift each other up, we all rise. And when we turn away, we don’t just fail others—we fail ourselves.

If you believe in a world where no one gets left behind, this is a conversation you need to hear.
