With the election of President Trump and a new Congress, The Arc of the United States will continue to partner with all elected officials, advocating and educating that disability is a part of our shared human experience—one that touches every family, every community, and every generation regardless of political party. When people with disabilities have the support they need to live, learn, work, and participate fully in their communities, all Americans benefit. Yet, every day, people with disabilities and their families face remarkably challenging circumstances. Children with disabilities are being denied educational supports that will ensure they get a strong foundation for their lives ahead. The unemployment rate of adults with disabilities is 2 times higher than the rate of non-disabled people. Nearly 700,000 people are stuck on years-long waiting lists for home and community-based services, which allows them to live independently in their communities. Caregivers are stretched to the breaking point, balancing work, financial stability, and the fight to secure essential services. These aren't abstract policy issues—they are daily realities that affect families in every neighborhood, town, and state across America. We have work to do—and The Arc will never stop advocating for the policies that people with disabilities need to thrive. The Arc has deep roots in communities nationwide. For 75 years, our strong network of self-advocates, families, and professionals has shared their expertise with elected officials to ensure policy decisions reflect the pressing, serious needs of everyday Americans. We've seen firsthand that the most enduring progress comes when all leaders recognize disability rights as human rights.
