Advocacy – Harry Bronson

Thank you, Assemblymember Bronson

While the outcome of our advocacy efforts was not what we hoped for, we thank you for your help in our fight and appreciate the relationship we continue to foster.

We know you value our work and that you sincerely care about the disability community.

We will continue our year-round advocacy in the hopes that we can permanently solve this funding crisis and evolve into a more dignified place where we do not have to do this year after year.

Thank you, Assemblymember Harry Bronson!

Thank you so much for meeting with us on April 5th to talk about the restrictions placed on the COLA! We appreciate everything you have done for us and will be a part of in the future.

The Arc of Monroe was glad to welcome you and share about all that is happening at our agency! We thank you for your willingness to talk with our leadership team and tour our world-class ArcWorks manufacturing facility! Supporting people with disabilities means advocating for them and their rights each and every day. We are so thankful that you support us!

LGBTQIA+ Resources for People with IDD

With the help of a generous grant from the New York Health Foundation, The Arc of Monroe is leading the way in providing training for staff who support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) who also identify as LGBTQIA+. Our own Advocacy Champion Brian Potvin has developed the curriculum and recently started delivering the training at other organizations. Visit our Supporting Safe Spaces website to learn more.
