Join us 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐓𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝟓𝐭𝐡, as The Arc of Macomb County joins 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 to a different department. Not only would this change disrupt services that students with disabilities depend on, it would also make it harder to hold the government accountable when students don't get the services they're entitled to and rely on.

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.

𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐝! A quick call or email today can help protect the rights of students with disabilities across the country.
