Advocacy

Be The Change

Your voice, your perspective, your ideas can make a difference.


At The Arc of King County, we work to make sure public programs and policies work for people with disabilities, and that the services people with disabilities and their families rely on are adequately funded. 


We also offer workshops and create materials that explain the legislative process so people feel confident about participating.


  • Sign up to receive advocacy emails!
  • Register to vote
  • Effective messaging, a tool
  • Meeting with legislators - What to do. Plus talking points for the 2026 legislative session
  • Path to Passage - How a bill becomes a law


Please note: We do not offer legal advocacy services. If you need support learning about or accessing public services, please contact our Information and Family Support team. They can help you understand what your options are and direct you to resources.

It's YOUR public policy
