Every year, ANCOR asks the U.S. Senate to issue a bipartisan proclamation recognizing Direct Support Professionals as part of our Direct Support Professional Recognition Week advocacy. DSP week begins September 9 and there is still time for your Senators to join! So far, the following 10 Senators have signed on:
Senator Susan Collins, R-Maine
Senator Angus King, I-Maine
Senator Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio
Senator Ed Markey, D-Massachusetts
Senator Chris Murphy, D-Connecticut
Senator Bob Menendez, D-New Jersey
Senator Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts
Senator Amy Klobuchar, D-Minnesota
Senator Richard Blumenthal, D-Connecticut
Senator Maureen Hassan, D-New Hampshire
Given the importance of bringing attention to the hard work performed by DSPs every year, please ask your U.S. Senators to join the resolution. If your Senators have already signed onto the resolution, please take a moment to thank them. Contact Sarah Meek, Director of Legislative Affairs, at [email protected], for more information.
