Looking for an easy, meaningful way to spread some love for Texans with disabilities this Valentine’s Day? Here are a few ideas:
Learn how to use your voice by checking out our Advocacy Toolkit! Your state elected officials make decisions that shape the lives of the people you love. Reaching out is your right and ensures your voice is heard.
Take 10 minutes to call or email your legislator with a message like this: “Happy Valentine’s Day! My name is [NAME] and I am your constituent from [CITY, Texas]. I’m calling/writing to encourage you to have a heart for The Arc of Texas and make policy decisions that support Texans with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), their families, and communities. As you prepare for the next legislative session, beginning in January, you
can find helpful information about The Arc of Texas’ policy priorities, as well as resources for your constituents with disabilities by visiting their website at thearcoftexas.org.”
NOTE: If calling, try the legislator's district office phone number first. Elected officials and their staff are often at their district offices during the interim (the time between legislative sessions).
