Hill Visits

More information about the Hill Day program is coming soon!

The Disability Policy Seminar’s Hill Day is an exciting opportunity to engage with your legislators and staff and to advocate for our shared policy priorities.   

The purpose of these visits is to speak directly with your state’s Congressional delegation about the high-priority issues affecting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Critical programs like Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, home and community-based services, Supplemental Security Income, and Social Security are constantly threatened—yet these federal programs provide the key to community living and inclusion for people with IDD across the nation. These programs must be supported and expanded. 

Through visits with Congressional leaders, you can help ensure that critical programs and the civil rights of all people with IDD are protected. 

Resources for Your Appointments

Check this page often for updates and resources! 

 The Disability Policy Seminar partners are working with state captains in each state to coordinate and schedule this year’s Hill visits.  

Partners will schedule Senate appointments while state captains will make House of Representatives appointments. State captains will coordinate with state delegations.  

When registering, be sure to indicate that you want to attend the Hill visits in order to be contacted by your state captain. State delegations will have time to meet and discuss their Hill meetings during the first day of the Disability Policy Seminar. 

 Whether this is your first visit to the Hill or a repeat visit, we will help you prepare for a successful meeting through the trainings at the Disability Policy Seminar, with fact sheets to leave behind with members of Congress or their staff, and with a pre-event webinar.
