This Friday, on Valentine's Day, advocate for Texans with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and Direct Support Professionals by sharing our Valentine's card with your state legislators! Simply click the buttons below to find your legislators, download our card, and email or hand deliver it to them!

Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) provide essential supports that empower people with IDD to thrive in their communities, but fair wages are needed to sustain this workforce. Many DSPs earn insufficient wages (just $10.60/hour), despite the complex demands of their work. Our Valentine's card encourages legislators to invest in this workforce.

Show that you #HaveAHeartForTheArcTX by tagging us on social media @TheArcOfTexas! 

Questions? Contact publicpolicy@thearcoftexas.org or 512-454-6694. 

Your support funds our advocacy with and for Texans with IDD. Every donation, no matter the size, is meaningful to us. Thank you!
