Workday With My Legislator
Take action. Be heard. Create change.
Brought to you in partnership with:
How do we help legislators see that hiring people with disabilities is a good idea?
We show them—by bringing them to work!
They get to see people with disabilities doing their jobs and helping the community. They also meet business owners who say their company is better because they hire people with disabilities.
This is your chance to tell your legislator(s) what you do at work and why it matters to you. You can also share any challenges that make it hard for you to do your job. The DD Council will share pictures of your visit throughout National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) in October.
Before you begin, ask yourself the following:
- Do I have good things to say about my job?
- Do I have things I want my legislator to know about my job?
If you answered YES to these questions, please participate in our Workday With My Legislator campaign! Everyone who has a successful visit with at least one legislator will get a free advocacy t-shirt.
