A huge thank-you to Representative Mary González for her generous turkey donations and for her continued support of The Arc of El Paso. Your commitment to our community and to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities makes a meaningful difference every day. We are truly grateful for your partnership and for all you do to help us advance inclusion, dignity, and opportunity for the people we serve.

Thank you, Representative González, for standing with us and for helping make this holiday season brighter for so many!

Our office is delighted to support The Arc of El Paso in their November effort to bring Thanksgiving to individuals in need. This season, we give thanks for disability advocates like the Arc, who go beyond their calling to serve our community. The generosity of PepsiCo and the Knights of Columbus has helped make this holiday season brighter for countless families.

Content warning: This video discusses sexual assault and the mistreatment of people with disabilities by law enforcement.

Because of her disability, police officers didn’t listen and believe Kecia’s report of a sexual assault.

People with disabilities are more likely to be victims of crime than those without disabilities. Too often, they are dismissed or doubted when they report crimes. When police officers understand how different disabilities may affect interactions, communication, and behavior they can adjust their approach to better serve the whole community.
