Advocacy Toolkit

Grassroots and self-advocacy are pillars of The Arc Minnesota’s public policy work, and our goal is to help people with disabilities, their family members, and allies feel informed and empowered to lead policy, social, and systems change.

The resources in our Advocacy Toolkit are built to ignite our network of advocates as they build power and mobilize for positive social change.

With questions or for more information about ways to engage in legislative advocacy with The Arc Minnesota, contact Public Policy Director Alicia Munson at info@arcminnesota.org.
