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, education, home and community-based services, and Supplemental Security Income, 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.
