Families from Down syndrome associations across the state of Texas are heading to Austin on Tuesday, March 23, 2027, in honor of World Down Syndrome Day. This special day at the Capitol will include opportunities to meet with your local representatives to share requests about current and future legislation, hear official proclamations recognizing World Down Syndrome Day from both the Texas House of Representatives and Senate, and gather with passionate individuals from across the state who share a commitment to advocacy and inclusion.
New to advocacy? Not a problem! There will be two Zoom trainings leading up to the Advocacy Day to discuss tips on connecting with legislators and an overview of key legislation being introduced this session. You do not have to be an expert on legislative policy to join. Legislators need and want to hear from families just like YOU.
Registration is free, but families are responsible for their own transportation and lodging.
