Phoenix Makes an Impact at the Capitol
Advocates from Across Minnesota Raising Voices for Disability Services
Disability Services Day at the Capitol once again proved to be an inspiring and impactful day of advocacy in 2026. As ongoing challenges continue to affect disability services across Minnesota, it was more important than ever to stand together, raise our voices,
and show lawmakers the real people and real stories behind the services we provide. Advocates from across the state gathered at the Capitol, creating a powerful show of unity and commitment to our community.
The rally featured passionate remarks from legislators and advocates who recognize the critical importance of disability services. Several legislators took the stage, including our own Representative Brion Curran and Representative Peter Fischer, who represent several of our homes. The energy in the Capitol was undeniable as we cheered, chanted, and stood proudly together in support of the people we serve.
Following the rally, we met with legislators to share personal stories and advocate for policies that protect and strengthen disability services. These conversations were meaningful opportunities to highlight the impact of our work and the urgent need for sustained investment in our field.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this important day of advocacy. Your participation makes a difference, and together we continue to build momentum for positive change. Missed it? No problem! Visit our Facebook page to see photos from the day and watch the rally livestream.
