Persons with disabilities need quality services, and in order to receive quality services, a well trained and well compensated workforce is needed. Workforce issues have reached a crisis point. Staff in state operated programs earn significantly more than staff in the voluntary sector for the same work. This needs to change and your legislator need to hear it from you! What difference can you make? The answer is a huge difference! Get involved...contact your local legislator today!

The National ARC web site has a legislative action center. On this site you can find sample letters to write to legislators. Don’t feel that you have to use these…..your own words may be the most moving. Click on the “Take Action” sign below to find more information about the legislative action center.
