Elected for Inclusion: A Presidential Forum on Disability Issues
The Arc is excited to share that there will be a presidential forum on disability issues in Austin, Texas on January 13, 2020! The forum is organized through the American Association of People with Disabilities’ REV UP campaign , which The Arc’s national office is a part of, as are many state and local chapters of The Arc.

How can your chapter get involved? Sign up to host a watch party!

This is an important opportunity for the disability community to come together and learn about candidates’ stances on issues that are important to us.

Three steps to hosting a watch party:
  1. Register your event here by December 16. Five watch parties will be randomly chosen to win a $100 Visa gift card to help pay for party supplies, like food and drinks!*
  2. Download your watch party toolkit to get tips on what to do before, during, and after your watch party. The toolkit includes marketing materials, a bingo game, signs to make, and more!
  3. Post pictures at your party and tag The Arc of The United States on Facebook (TheArcUS) and Twitter (@thearcus).
Please note: All presidential candidates have been invited to attend this forum. It is a non-partisan, non-political event in accordance with 501(c)(3) rules.
