Legislative Action

Take Action on Legislative Issues Affecting People with Disabilities

Nationally, Easter Seals assists members of Congress and their staff, White House and federal agency officials, and representatives of other national interests -- as well as citizens like you -- to understand and act in support of policies and programs that help people with disabilities to live with equality, dignity and independence.

Locally, Easter Seals Sierra Nevada works to inform members of the Nevada Legislature and other state and local officials about needs specific to our state. During the legislative session, we work with volunteers and other organizations to help make sure that the voice of people with disabilities is heard.

Easter Seals' legislative efforts focus on health care, early intervention, child care, education, employment, housing, supports for older Americans, recreation, assistive technology, transportation, and nonprofit organization operations.
