Public Policy

Advocates in front of the capitol building

The central purpose of the Coalition is to advocate for public policies that promote equal opportunity, economic self-sufficiency, and independent living for children and adults with disabilities. To do this, we work collaboratively to work on innovative solutions to public policy concerns. 

Working with our member agencies and their constituents, we organize our community to influence public policy both administratively and legislatively.
