AAPD’s Disability Power on the Hill will focus on educating policymakers to improve economic independence, healthcare access, and the rights of disabled people. It will provide an opportunity for disabled activists to meet with their Representatives and Senators and their staff and demonstrate our community’s support for policies that will improve the lives of disabled Americans. AAPD will be hosting a training on conducting these meetings, providing opportunities to learn more about Congress and policy participation and to engage with other advocates. The training will be virtual, so participants arriving late can join remotely that day. We will also be hosting a related virtual event later in the year.
If you are interested in joining AAPD in DC to support policies that will improve the lives of our community, register for AAPD’s Disability Advocacy Day here by Monday August 4, 2025.
