Advocacy
The purpose of our Advocacy efforts is to provide structure and support to individuals we serve, employees, families, and friends of Phoenix in advocating for support of disability services from our legislators
Effective Grassroots Advocacy requires a compelling issue or message and people. We have a compelling message; maintain services for persons with disabilities. Most importantly we have people! We have developed a strong base of people, grassroots advocates who are willing to share their stories, spread our message and advocate for themselves, their loved ones or the people they serve. There is power in numbers, the more advocates we have the more powerful our voice will become.
