“I am asking you to vote for this bill because back home in my District there is the “Jones” family. Mrs. Jones has a son with disabilities who works very hard every day to keep up with the other kids in class. He’s an engaging little boy who loves comic books and baseball. He just wants to be like other boys and girls and enjoy the same opportunities. Mrs. Jones told me in a beautiful letter that passing this bill would allow her son to access those opportunities on a more frequent basis. So please, for Mrs. Jones and her son, vote Yes on this bill!”. As you can see, the legislator in the example above NEEDS the personal story of Mrs. Jones and her son to be able to effectively persuade the other representatives to vote the way he or she wants. They need us! How do you learn how to formulate your story and share it with the legislators, or school board, members, or the head of the Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD)?
