Does Harrisburg Care? It doesn’t seem like they do!

Hey Harrisburg, where's the budget? It doesn’t seem like many of our elected officials care about individuals with disabilities. As they are on break without a budget for the state, the citizens of Pennsylvania are the ones who suffer. Rep Gene DiGirolamo a true friend of those with disabilities has introduced a compromise budget which is currently not getting attention.

Harrisburg and political negotiations of the budget impasse might feel like a world away, but the impact of the budget impasse is being felt in every county.

Chandler’s day in Harrisburg, The Arc’s Advocacy & Policy Day 2015

Hello everybody, Today my blog will be about my day in Harrisburg. Monday April 15th, The ARC Alliance and I went to Harrisburg to speak with some of our legislators. We talked about legislation that we want passed, just like we did when we went down to Washington.

The hotel room also had a decent size television with a lot of channels to choose from. In [...]

Hearts of Advocacy – Valentines Day extended!

Yesterday on Valentines day we distributed an opportunity for people like you to support The Arc Alliance Advocacy efforts. Hearts of Advocacy is an easy way for you to financially assist others in your community who need advocacy support. The local, state and federal systems of support for those with intellectual and developmental delays and disabilities are broken! Currently we see cuts in the state budget that affect those with the greatest need and the least resources. Your assistance and support of the Hearts of Advocacy will enable The Arc Alliance to continue to serve those in our community with the greatest need! Keep the Valentines day spirit alive! Follow the link to the interactive page!
