Join Us for Disability Awareness Day

at the Louisiana Legislature

May 4th, 2026

Disability Awareness Day at the Capitol is a collaborative effort to elevate the voices of people with disabilities, increase legislative awareness of the challenges facing the community, and advocate for policy solutions that enhance inclusion, accessibility, and quality of life across Louisiana. We aim to remind legislators that disability can impact anyone—suddenly and permanently—and that strong systems of support are vital. This day provides a platform for organizations, individuals, caregivers, and advocates to engage directly with elected officials and share stories, priorities, and policy recommendations.
