At the Louisiana State Capitol
Disability Awareness Day at the Capitol.
A collaborative day to raise the voices of people with disabilities, show legislators the challenges our community faces, and push for policy that improves inclusion, accessibility and quality of life across Louisiana.

Disability can affect anyone, suddenly and permanently.
That is the message we bring to lawmakers. The day is free for participating organizations.

It’s a chance to raise your organization’s visibility, advocate for the needs of people with disabilities, connect with key stakeholders and take part in conversations that shape policy.

Invite your staff, clients and community partners. Together we create a strong presence at the Capitol so lawmakers hear the voices of people with disabilities loud and clear.
What should we bring?
Materials that represent your organization: brochures, giveaways, signage and any resources that help you engage legislators and the community.
What happens during the day?
A speaker program, networking, and a panel on the economic impact of disability inclusion, plus time to connect with lawmakers.

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.
