Webinar, February 2nd, 2026, with the Arc of Massachusetts. The state budget isn’t just a list of numbers; it’s a reflection of our Commonwealth’s priorities and it funds the services that support the IDD and autism communities. This year, the stakes are higher than ever, as the budget is where we will see the impacts of federal cuts and changes most acutely.
* Join The Arc of Massachusetts for a two-part webinar series to go behind the scenes of the budget process and learn how to make your voice heard.
Part 1: Demystifying the State Budget | Thursday, January 15 at noon:
Understand the budget and the process. We’ll walk through the timeline, key line items, and show you where advocate intervention makes the biggest difference.
Part 2: The Governor’s Proposal & Next Steps | Monday, February 2 at noon:
Shortly after the Governor releases her budget, we’ll break down what it means for you. We will share our top priorities and give you a clear roadmap for advocacy in the months ahead.
