The Arc of the United States

Working towards respect, dignity, and inclusion for all people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families.

[The Arc of the United States @TheArcUS]

Thank you to @RepDonBeyer, @AbrahamHamadeh, @BobbyScott, @ChrisMurphyCT, @BernieSanders, and @PattyMurray, for your leadership in #KASSA, banning seclusion & dangerous restraints, and protecting students, especially students with disabilities and students of color.

Our CEO, Katy Neas, met with U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon alongside coalition partners to talk about the future of federal programs that support students with disabilities. We are grateful for every opportunity to highlight the importance of the Dept. of Education.

[Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick 🇺🇸 @RepBrianFitz]

@TheArcUS is one of the most influential voices for the civil and human rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

From PARC v. Pennsylvania and IDEA to the ADA and expanded home- and community-based services, The Arc has been at the center of every major advance in disability rights.

As Co-Chairs of the Bipartisan Disabilities Caucus, @RepDebDingell and I are proud to work alongside The Arc in our shared mission.

This week, we introduced a bipartisan resolution marking their 75th anniversary, both a recognition of their extraordinary impact and a call to action to continue this critical work. Because dignity, independence, and equal opportunity are not aspirations, but must be guarantees for every single American.

This is an immensely difficult loss, but know that your efforts made a difference. The Arc’s advocates generated more than 500,000 contacts to Congress this year, and members of Congress from both parties spoke out against these cuts.

BREAKING: The budget bill is headed to President Trump's desk for signature. The House passed the Senate's version of the bill, leaving in drastic cuts to Medicaid and SNAP.

[The Arc of the United States @TheArcUS]

This bill will result in millions of people with disabilities losing access to health coverage and food assistance, and it will make it harder for children to access essential special education services.

[The Arc of the United States @TheArcUS]

Now, the Senate and House must agree on a final bill to send to the President for his signature. This isn’t over yet, but it's serious, and we need your help. Act now to help us protect the very foundation of care and services! https://t.co/PzISzb12OK

[The Arc of the United States @TheArcUS]

Breaking news: The Senate just passed the budget bill, and it’s bad. This bill will result in millions of people with disabilities losing access to health coverage and food assistance, and it will make it harder for children to access essential special education services.

[The Arc of the United States @TheArcUS]

Now is the time to fight back. Help us flood the Senate with calls, emails, stories—whatever it takes to make them stop this: https://t.co/3vU8Aw03Xy #ProtectMedicaid

[The Arc of the United States @TheArcUS]

BREAKING: The House just voted to gut Medicaid and SNAP—over $1 trillion slashed from programs that millions with disabilities rely on to survive. ⬇️

[The Arc of the United States @TheArcUS]

These cuts are devastating. And we won't be silent while our community is pushed past the brink. Read our full response: https://t.co/vu9WqD30Sp ⬇️
