What is InterHab Push Day?
Hundreds of Kansans with disabilities, along with their families and their advocates, rally at the Statehouse with InterHab each year to call for legislative priorities such as full funding of social services that they rely on to continue living independently.  
This year Push Day will focus on empowering Kansans with disabilities to make their voices heard and remind legislators of the power of this large and active community of voters. We will rally around the movement #myvotecounts to spread our message through the Statehouse and social media.

Visit Legislators, Deliver Advocacy Materials, and Fill the Galleries
Following lunch participants should head into the Capitol to visit their legislators.  You have made the effort to get to Topeka - don't go home without letting your legislators know your concerns!  InterHab will provide you with advocacy materials to share with your legislators and the Governor's office.  In addition to visiting your legislators, be sure to visit the Senate and House viewing galleries.  We want the galleries to be a sea of green to send a strong message of our concerns and our efforts!
