Since 2019, college students and recent graduates have participated in a program called Think College Policy Advocates (TCPA) where they receive training to learn the basics of advocacy, get updates on the latest issues, and contact their representatives in Congress to advocate in person in Washington, D.C.
This Zoom video is a practice conversation between TCPA Helen Nash and AUCD staff member, Rylin Rodgers, who was playing the part of a Senator. In the video, Helen shares the story about her life and how she became a college student and a disability advocate. Helen asks the "Senator" to help create laws to help people with disabilities have more opportunities to go to college.
