Disability Day at the Capitol Training 2
Attending Day at the Capitol? Another opportunity to prep for the big day!
Disability Day at the Capitol is Fast Approaching! And we want you to be prepared! Join us for training on how to prepare for Day at the Capitol. We’ll be hosting two meetings – you do NOT need to attend both of them.
THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 2023 @ 1-2 PM 
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15, 2023 @ 6-7 PM
*Both meetings at the main office: 222 Plato Blvd. E, Saint Paul & offered virtually. See below for the meeting links.
This will be especially helpful if you want to meet with your legislators! We’ll provide you with talking points, where to park, information on where all the buildings are, etc. and answer any questions you have.
If you can’t attend these meetings, but would still like the information, please reach out to Jackie Larson and she can meet with you separately. She can be reached at 651-294-7964 or jlarson@phoenixresidence.org
RSVP REQUESTED!
Please RSVP to Jackie Larson at 651-294-7964 or jlarson@phoenixresidence.org

Documents to Prep You for Disability Day at the Capitol:
We’ll reference these in the meetings, but in case you can’t join us, we've attached below a parking map, map of the Capitol, ARRM’s legislative agenda, and worksheets to help you tell your story.
Parking Map - We recommend parking in lot AA or ramp F. Van-accessible parking spaces are available in the lot or on Aurora Avenue near the main south staircase. The best places for drop-off and pick-up are on Cedar Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
Map of the Capitol - The ground floor entrance under the front steps is wheelchair accessible. There are elevators right inside those doors.
ARRM's Legislative Agenda - The main bill we want to promote is the bill HF 999/ SF 1015, which will make long-term sustainable adjustments to the Disability Waiver Rate System (DWRS). You don't need to be an expert on the bills, but in case they ask, those are the bills. Refer them to ARRM, our local trade association for more detailed questions.
