Disability Days on the Hill

Disability Days LogoWe often hear that it's not what you know, but who you know that counts. While not entirely true, establishing a relationship with your legislator today can go a long ways to bending his or her ear tomorrow.

Disability Days is your opportunity to meet with state legislators at the Capitol and talk about issues important to you and your family.

Dozens of disability organizations from across the state will be participating and with your help we can ensure that every legislator gets to hear from a constituent with a disability, a family member, or friend.
