Do you want to influence policy change for Granite Staters with disabilities in 2025? ABLE NH is launching a Rapid Response Team to take action on important issues impacting the disability community. This will allow us to better mobilize our community to uphold rights, protect funding, and move policies forward that will create equity for people with disabilities.
We are looking for advocates who are interested in engaging with the legislative process and willing to take some time-sensitive actions (big or small!) on important disability policy issues! No prior experience is necessary. Support and training opportunities will be provided, and there will be opportunities to participate in many different capacities. You are not required to take action on every advocacy opportunity or legislative alert.
Most team involvement will take place via email. Members will become part of an email group that shares calls to action, resources, and detailed information about advocacy actions for specific issues. There will be opportunities to participate in virtual advocacy trainings.

NH lawmakers want to take away money from state libraries. This would hurt a lot of people, especially people with disabilities.
Libraries are not just about books. They are safe, free places where people with disabilities can:
✅ Use helpful tools like screen readers
✅ Go to sensory-friendly events and quiet programs
✅ Use the internet and computers for free
✅ Get help with jobs, housing, and benefits
✅ Learn new things and feel part of the community
✅ Be in a calm, welcoming space
Taking away library money means taking away access and support.
📢 Tell lawmakers: Libraries are important. Everyone deserves access.
