Lawmakers invited to Disability Policy Advocacy Day as advocates gather at the Capitol
Summary
Representative Angles encouraged members to visit the 1st Floor rotunda where more than 15 organizations and around 200 Iowans with disabilities, family members, and service providers were gathered for Disability Policy Advocacy Day, followed by a barbecue hosted by Triple B's.
Representative Angles of Fayette used the House floor to invite members to Disability Policy Advocacy Day in the 1st Floor rotunda and described the presence and goals of advocates.
"Over 15 organizations and 200 Iowans with disabilities, family members, and service providers are advocating to build an Iowa where people with disabilities can live, work, and play," he said. He invited colleagues to hear from speakers and to join a barbecue lunch at noon hosted by Triple B's of Johnston, a restaurant noted in the transcript as employing more than 30 Iowans with disabilities and providing community training and events.
The announcement framed the event as an opportunity for legislators to hear constituent priorities; the transcript provided this as an invitation and description rather than a formal agenda item or vote.
