During this crucial election season, we need YOU in Washington, D.C. to help us build bipartisan support on Capitol Hill for high-priority disability issues. When you attend the Disability Policy Seminar, we’ll arm you with all of the information you need to help educate our Members of Congress and their staff on the priorities of the I/DD community. Then, you can return to your hometowns with the ability to spread the word, educate new advocates, and reach out to your elected officials throughout the year, to help put the needs of people with I/DD front and center every day in your community. And since it’s an election year, this year there will be sessions to brush up on your right as a citizen to vote.
