Join the Survival Coalition for Disability Advocacy Day this year in March!
Disability Advocacy Day is a day where people with disabilities and caregivers and providers who work directly with people with disabilities speak with their legislators about important disability issues. During this day, you’ll learn about:
- different disability issues the Survival Coalition focuses on.
- ways you can tell your story and why it matters to your representatives.
