Letters to Public Officials
The Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities (TCDD) and Disability Rights Texas (DRTx) have submitted letters to decision-makers and other leaders in Texas to ensure government agencies include people with disabilities in their COVID-19 response.
There are a number of disability-related organizations that are monitoring how legislators and other decision-makers are responding to the COVID-19 situation. These organizations are providing updates that can help you stay informed about legislative developments, how people with disabilities could be impacted, and when there are opportunities for advocacy. Below, you’ll find links links to subscribe to receive emails from these organizations.
Below are additional resources to help you stay informed and engaged during the COVID-19 situation.
