National Call-In Day: Flood Congress With Calls Today!

On March 5, The Arc is joining disability advocates nationwide for a call-in day to protect the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the federal law that guarantees that children with disabilities can learn and grow by receiving a public education.

Federal officials have said they intend to move the administration of IDEA’s programs out of the U.S. Department of Education, either to the Department of Labor or the Department of Health and Human Services. No official date or plans have been announced yet, but this change would disrupt services and create confusion. It would also weaken accountability for students with disabilities and their families.

For nearly 50 years, IDEA has been administered by the Department of Education, ensuring that students with disabilities have access to a free and appropriate public education. Keeping it there is critical.

What You Can Do

Members of Congress need to hear from you today.

Call your U.S. Senators and Representative and urge them to stop the U.S. Department of Education from moving IDEA programs to another federal agency.

Phone calls have the greatest impact, especially on a national call-in day. But if you can’t make a phone call, please send an email. All messages are helpful.

Your advocacy matters. A quick call or email today can help protect the rights of students with disabilities across the country.

Pick up the phone and tell Congress: keep special education with the Department of Education!
