Advocacy Tips From Pa. Lawmakers

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Nancy Richey stepped to the podium with a microphone at the Capitol rotunda with the hope that the right people would hear her message.
She rallied a crowd of more than 100 sign-toting people with disabilities and their advocates and service providers. They lined the white marble steps, chanting "Keep your promise!" in protest of $168 million in proposed cuts to community mental and behavioral health services and assistance to the homeless.
