Advocacy
Your Advocacy is Needed!
Thank you for your commitment and action in support of no cuts to developmental disability services in Missouri!
Pony Bird is pleased to share that Governor Kehoe signed the FY27 budget and maintained funding as recommended by the legislature. The Disability Rights Day at the Capitol in February made a significant impact. Thank you for the advocacy and impact you make every day. We must remain steadfast in our work for this upcoming session. More to come.
Now it’s our turn to say thank you!
Our trade partner, Starling, has provided resources to help send your thanks directly to Governor Kehoe.
Click here to download the Thank you Toolkit.
- Sample letter for executive directors to send to the Governor’s office.
- Sample letters for self-advocates and family members.
- Social media and photo tips.
You can personalize any of these and send them directly to Gov. Kehoe’s office (snail-mail or through their contact page). Remember, a little personalization goes a long way! Otherwise, his office will receive tons of the same exact letter. Try to send letters within the next week or two.
Alternatively, if it’s more your speed – you can use our one-click advocacy platform to send a quick thank you email. I’ve included a blurb you can copy/paste into your newsletter below.
Thank you for your developmental disability support advocacy!
Your friends at Pony Bird.
