How to be your own advocate
Although law prohibits agencies from attempting to influence legislation, you have a right to advocate on your own behalf - as long as it's on your own time and with your own personal resources. Watch this short video from TPEA's Executive Director, Ann Bishop, explain why self-advocacy is so important. Here are a few ways to get involved:
- Join TPEA, an organization that advocates for you
- Subscribe to our newsletter with your home email address
- Know who represents you
- Think about your circle of influence
- Write a letter to your legislator(s)
