“It is important to me to have a job. When I get my pay check I save it in my bank account. I have bills to pay. When my mom needs help with bills I can help her out too. I like being independent. I really like my coworkers and my bosses too. I let my legislators know these things are important to me otherwise they might not know.” LaShay Thomas, District 27

ABOUT
Since 1995, Pierce County has offered a Legislative Forum. Every year, up until 2018, it was coordinated by the Pierce County Coalition for Developmental Disabilities (PC2). In 2019, PAVE (Partnerships for Action, Voices for Empowerment) began the work to convene this interactive evening with our community partners, elected officials, self-advocates, and stakeholders.
A legislative forum needs its elected officials, community members, self-advocates and interested citizens to gather, listen, discuss and hear one another. All are welcome, invited to attend, participate and engage with your elected officials.
