DSR Episode #18: Buddy Walk on Washington with Sara Weir

Advocacy Alert!!  The Buddy Walk on Washington is next week!  Advocates from across the country will be converging on our nation’s capital to advocate for legislation that will impact the lives of people with Down syndrome and their families.

In this episode of Down Syndrome Radio we get wonky and talk advocacy and politics with Sara Weir, Vice President, Advocacy & Affiliate Relations for the NDSS.  Listen and learn about the Buddy Walk on Washington, the ABLE Act, Congressional Down Syndrome Caucus and Sara’s dog, Boss.

If you can’t make it in person, be sure to reach out to your congressional delegation and get their support for the ABLE Act!  Also, please sign up for NDSS Advocacy Alerts to receive an email to let you know what to do to support important Down syndrome legislative activities.
