Disability Services Day at the Capitol 2024
Advocate for change at our annual day at the Capitol!
Let’s make an impact this March! Join us for Disability Services Day at the Capitol on March 19, 2024, to advocate for disability services! This annual day of advocacy brings together more than 1,000 direct care staff, managers, family members, and individuals from across the state. It’s important to make your voice heard!
The rally will begin at 10 am and meetings with our legislators will last throughout the day. Please let us know if you are interested in meeting with your legislator. It’s very
important for you to share your story with them to promote change at the state level. We will inform you of your meeting time a week before the event.
Date: March 19, 2024
Time: Rally at 10 am
Meetings with Legislators throughout the day

You made your voice heard in 2023. So, let's continue that trend in 2024! Last session, legislators moved quickly and made critical investments in disability services, but there’s still a long way to go. We need to continue fighting for support of disability services. This year’s legislation continues building upon our workforce shortage and introduces several system service reform policies. Our goal is to discuss the current state of the disability services industry and share with them how they can help.
You don't need to be an expert on the bills ARRM is advocating for in 2024. Simply download ARRM's Legislative Agendas below and let your legislator know that your trade association is advocating for legislation that supports long-term sustainability for the disability community. The most important part is for you to share your story. Tell them what it’s like for you as a self-advocate, direct care staff, or family member of a loved one with disabilities.
