Thank you to all of those who attended our recent advocacy events from self-advocates, families, and team members! 🎉 The Penn-Mar Advocacy Collective Virtual Training was an informative session leading up to Developmental Disabilities Day, where participants met with legislators to share their stories and advocate for necessary services.

Thank you to the offices of Senator Justin Ready, Senator Chris West, Chris Tomlinson for State Delegate, Joshua Stonko for State Delegate, and Delegate Lauren Arikan for meeting with us to discuss Governor Moore’s proposed FY27 DDA budget reductions, their potential real‑time impact on the people we support, and to hear the stories shared of all who attended.

THANK YOU to everyone who attended and advocated for the future! 💪

Thanks for capturing these great shots from their trip, DSPs Lydia and Ashley!
