Disability Day on the Hill Toolkit
We want to support your success at Disability Day on the Hill 2023. Here is a toolkit of information and resources about meeting with your legislator, policy one-pagers about bills that affect people with disabilities under consideration at the TN General Assembly right now, and how to support everyone showing up for the event on social media.
These core materials will be available in hard copy in a DDH Toolkit folder (300 copies, first-come first-serve) for pick-up in-person at the in-person events in Nashville March 7th & 8th. 10 copies (first-come first-serve) will also be available in Braille and large-print. If you need an alternate format, please reach out to us at: 615-383-9442 or ddh@tndisability.org
If you have questions about these events, please check out our FAQ section on the DDH2023 page
Additional resources to support your advocacy including videos on scheduling your meeting with your legislator, and a real-life video of Jason, a self-advocate with a disability meeting with his legislator, are available on the Advocacy 101 page
