PEACE NW works with families to connect to appropriate services and supports for people with disabilities. An important aspect of this work is through advocacy. By connecting with state legislators, other advocacy groups, and people with disabilities we work to ensure that inclusive and integrated supports are on the agenda of our legislators. Working to make sure that policies affecting our families have input from our families. We do this work through multiple avenues:
- Participate in Advocacy Days during our legislative session
- Disseminating information to interested parents and professionals
- Guided tours (transportation included) to the State Capitol
- Assistance to meet your elected officials and share issues
- Local opportunities for families to share their stories with legislators
- Candidates Forum
