Legislative Action Network is Now Web-based
Easter Seals Legislative Action Network (LAN) members now find it easier than ever to inform their federal and state legislators about issues that are important to people with disabilities.
The LAN makes greater use of the Internet to update members about fast-breaking, important issues. Through the enhanced use of the Web, members can also receive templates of letters that they can modify and send to their legislators with the click of a button.
“Easter Seals is deeply committed to protecting services that enable people with disabilities to expand their independence,” Joe Bellil, Easter Seals vice president of public affairs, said. “Through this project, we are able to more carefully watch both state and federal issues and respond in a timelier, more effective matter.”
Members also have online access to Easter Seals’ legislative priorities, as well as contact information for their state senators and representatives and helpful links. The project is a joint effort with national Easter Seals.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact
Easter Seals Massachusetts Public Affairs at legislative@eastersealsma.org.
