SOS Campaign: Congress is Back in DC, Remind Members to Prioritize the Disability Community Act!
Dear Shannon:
After six weeks out in their districts, Members of Congress are returning to Washington D.C. and many bills are competing for their attention – please use our online tools to email them or send them tweets so they remember to prioritize the Disability Community Act (H.R. 5902)! We are still looking for a Senate sponsor for our bill so your messages will be timely as we continue our lobbying visits on Capitol Hill. This will take less than five minutes but still have an effect.
If you are able, we would also encourage you to call your Congressional offices to ask them to support the Disability Community Act, to show that providers are vested in this issue. You can find guidance on how to call Congressional offices here. It is thanks to feedback from providers such as yourself that four U.S. Representatives agreed to introduce the Disability Community Act in the House, so we know grassroots efforts work. Now we need to replicate the magic with your Senators, and we cannot do it without you. As constituents, you are who Members of Congress want to hear from, more so than lobbyists in D.C.
If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Doris Parfaite-Claude, Government Relations Manager, at dparfaite-claude@ancor.org or (703) 535 7850, ext. 108.
Thank you for your time and what you do – together, we can save our services!
