Advocacy
1 minute read
Legislative advocacy is CTD’s primary focus. During and outside of the Texas’ biennial legislative session, we work with key decision makers, state agencies, and other advocacy organizations to promote statewide policies that will protect or benefit Texans with disabilities. We have influenced efforts that have added close to $5 Billion in state budget appropriations supporting people with disabilities, and we have built a solid reputation as advocates and policy experts at the state Capitol.
As a coalition, collaboration is key to the success our policy work. We partner on a number of policy issues with other disability organizations, belong to dozens of workgroups and coalitions, and engage in partnerships across movements.

The 89th Texas Legislature will convene on January 14, 2025. We are preparing our advocacy priorities now and will post here when they are complete.
