Join us at Advocacy Day 2025.
Advocacy Day is an annual event for attendees to call on the legislature to enact laws and policies that will improve and sustain services provided to Kansans with developmental disabilities – services necessary for them to live independent and inclusive lives in their home communities. Hundreds of Kansans with IDD, their friends and family, and advocates from across the state gather each year at the Kansas State Capitol. Learn more about our 2025 Advocacy Platform here: https://interhab.org/advocacy/.
Advocacy Day will take place on Monday, March 10, 2025.
