Summary
Representative Angles invited members to meet advocates in the first-floor rotunda for Disability Policy Advocacy Day, noting more than 15 participating organizations and roughly 200 Iowans with disabilities, and highlighted a noon barbecue hosted by Triple B's, which employs over 30 Iowans with disabilities.
Representative Angles invited members of the House to Disability Policy Advocacy Day at the Capitol on April 1, asking colleagues to visit the first-floor rotunda to hear from advocates and to join a noon barbecue.
Speaking on the floor, Representative Angles said more than 15 organizations and about 200 Iowans with disabilities, along with family members and service providers, were participating. He encouraged members to visit the rotunda and meet constituents. He described Triple B's, a Johnston restaurant that "is staffed by over 30 Iowans with disabilities," and said the business would host a barbecue lunch.
Why it matters: Advocacy day brings constituents to the Capitol to press for disability policy priorities and to make direct contact with legislators. The announcement included logistical details about fellowship activities on the first floor and the lunch host.
The House returned to routine business and recessed for party caucuses later in the day.
