What is Advocacy?
Advocacy is when you inform policymakers about an issue you care about so they understand how their decisions impact people’s lives. This is how we influence public policy, which addresses a public issue through laws, regulations, and programs developed by governments.
Learn how to advocate by checking out our Policy Pillars and our Advocacy Toolkit, created for folks who want to learn how to make their voice heard by elected officials.
Find Your Rep
Find who represents you at the state level and get their contact information. Simply enter your street address, city, zip code, or county.
How to Vote in Texas
Voting is one of the most important tools individuals have to ensure elected officials voted into office make decisions that support – not hurt – Texans with IDD. People with disabilities can and should exercise their right to vote! Check out these resources from our friends at Disability Rights Texas.
