Advocacy for Funding and Stronger Support

Earlier this month, Stacy Phillips attended the Arc of PA Advocacy Day at the State Capitol in Harrisburg. Self-advocates, family members, professionals, and legislators came together in the Capitol Rotunda to speak out for stronger support and increased funding for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

After powerful remarks, advocates met directly with lawmakers to push for meaningful action. Thank you for your work, Stacy! Stacy Phillips, the Institute's project coordinator for educational and leadership development, is at right in the photo taken in PA's State Capitol, below.
