Overview
To support your advocacy efforts, The Arc New York has created an updated resource package, including shareable information sheets and talking points. If you have not done so already, please be sure to schedule your virtual appointments with Senators and Assemblymembers as soon as possible to take full advantage of the budget negotiation timeline. This is an important time to advocate prior to the release of one-house budget bills, which are typically released the second week of March. Click here to find your representative and be sure to report the outcome of your meeting by completing our outreach survey.
