Public Policy & Advocacy
Tour Across Texas
Coming to a chapter near you!
We hit the road every other summer before the Texas Legislative Session starts to visit chapters of The Arc of Texas across the state. It’s a chance to visit with staff, volunteers and participants of our local chapters, meet folks in local disability communities, learn about The Arc of Texas’ public policy pillars, and get advocacy tips to help influence state-level public policies affecting people with IDD.
