The Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act (H.R. 3423/S.1872) continues to gain support in both the U.S. House and Senate. Cosponsors have reached 141 in the House and 16 in the Senate. The ABLE Act still needs more cosponsors, and we need your help!
On April 25, NDSS joined forces with many other national disability organizations to host National ABLE Act Call-In Day to build additional support for this important legislation. Thank you to all who called their Senators and Representatives and encouraged them to become cosponsors. For those who haven't yet, it's not too late to take action and reach out!
Please see the lists below to find out if your elected officials have already signed on.
Here are three ways that you can make a difference right now:
1) Call and/or write your Senators and Representative using the provided templates and ask them to cosponsor the ABLE Act now. If they are already cosponsors, reach out to thank them!
2) Set up a meeting with your Senator and/or Representative during their state/district work period.
