Legislative Advocacy

Become an effective advocate for Delawareans with I/DD

The silver lining of Delaware being a small state is that many of us can personally get to know our State Senator and Representative, which can lead to a better understanding of our leaders recognizing the challenges we face as caregivers. 

The more they know, the more they may be able to support funding or laws that will help those with I/DD – or those who care for them.

Get into politics as if your life depends on it...because it does.”
