Advocates: our first action alert for the FY25 budget is now available!
Please take a moment to fill it out or customize it, then share it with your networks and follow up with your Representative.
The budget is currently with House Ways and Means. If you are coming to The Arc/MDDC Legislative Reception on March 6, you can plan to follow up with your Representative or their staff on that day. Otherwise, please call or email their office to ensure their support.
- The Arc asks that the legislature maintains Governor Healey’s Chapter 257 workforce investment that will bring direct support staff to a median floor of $20 per hour.
- The Arc asks that the legislature maintains the increases in life-line DDS line items and reconsiders the cuts to MassHealth that will affect thousands.
- Please see our FY25 Budget Ask for more information.
The budget process has just begun, and we need your help every step of the way!
Thank you!
