2018 Advocacy Days
This year's theme is "In Harmony" as we encourage legislators to champion bills/budget items that are important to people with developmental disabilities.
January 17th is the 37th annual Statewide Disability Legislative Reception.
Meet at the United Churches for the DD Briefing on this year's issues from 2-4pm.
The Legislative Reception will be held in the Capitol in the Columbia Room from 5:30-7:30pm.
Advocacy Days are a great way to learn about the legislative process. Each Advocacy Day begins with an hour briefing at 10am. The briefing includes special speakers, tips for a successful day and current information on bills and budget issues. Participants are offered several ways in which to advocate during the afternoon. You can meet with your legislators and attend hearings or floor sessions. Be sure to make your appointments to meet with legislators well in advance of your trip to Olympia. Meeting places will be listed on the ARC of WA website at http://arcwa.org/index.php/takeaction/washingtonstate/advocacy_day
