Advocacy for Service Coordination

Ready to Advocate for Service Coordination?

Association of Regional Centers Agencies (ARCA), the regional centers, other advocacy groups, legislative champions, and community members like you are joining a push to help regional centers hire enough service coordinators to meet every family’s needs.

And now’s your chance to help! We need advocates like you to call your local legislators and say:

“I am a constituent of the legislator,
and would like them to please support
Assemblymember Frazier’s service coordination request.”

Why say it like that? Because Assemblymember Frazier is the leading champion for  our funding request! Also, this is the easiest way for you to communicate a fairly complicated Budget request. It’s just enough information to get the point across.

How do you do this? It’s easy! Go to http://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov and enter the address where you live. Click on your Senator, and go to the “Contact Me” or “About” section of their website to find their phone number. Sometimes, you’ll find the office numbers at the bottom of the webpage. Call the “District Office” closest to you! Repeat it for your Assemblymember.
