ALERTS

Members of The Arc are an important part of the process for bringing about policy changes that impact persons with disabilities. One of the most important ways you can participate in this process is to receive and follow up on legislative Action Alerts. These are sent via email or fax to members throughout the year. They include local, State and Federal legislative information and requests to contact specific legislators or policy makers.

HOW TO REQUEST ACTION ALERTS BE SENT TO YOU
Simply email
The Arc of Tucson  with your email address. Specify if you want all alerts or some specific area of interest (eg: state only, education-related only).
