| Dear Hcis,
With only a few days left in the year, I want to spotlight our crucial public policy and advocacy work. I’d also like to ask you to please make your year-end gift as we close out 2023. The Autism Society has made big strides in advancing public policy to benefit individuals with Autism, their families, and caregivers. With your support, we’ve been able to: - Mobilize more than 600 advocates to send letters to Congress, urging representatives to authorize a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ban on electric shock devices.
- Promote and advance state policies focused on increased safety for individuals with Autism.
- Petition members of Congress to advance the crucial Transformation to Competitive Integrated Employment Act (TCIEA).
- Advocate for increased federal funding to support critical programs including the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), early intervention, respite care, and the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act (DD Act).
Our voices matter Hcis. But in order to actually be heard by policymakers, we must have a strong collective voice to advocate on behalf of the Autism community. Your generosity helps make that possible. As we close out our year-end fundraising for 2023, will you make your gift and help strengthen our public policy and advocacy work — along with all of our programs and services? |
