get ready for the legislative session 

During the legislative session families, self advocates, and allies to the disability community will be able to testify, attend hearings, sign in to support or oppose bills and lobby their legislators all from the comfort of their own homes. 
Click here to watch the recorded Legislative Notebook meeting and to review/print the pages of the notebook. This notebook outlines priorities sent to legislators on behalf of people who experience a disability, IDD, or special healthcare need.

 VIRTUAL ADVOCACY DAYs 

Advocacy Days, part of The Arc’s Advocacy Partnership Project, are held during each legislative session to involve individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities (IDD), their families and their service providers in the legislative process, giving them opportunities to make their voices heard by their legislators and to have an impact on policy and budget legislation that affects the services and supports available to them. To make the meetings more accessible to people all around the state, we have moved to a virtual platform on Zoom.
Visit the Arc Website to sign Up for 2023 Advocacy Days
