Advocacy

At Mosaic, advocacy is a part of our mission. We advocate for and with people who have disabilities so they may choose appropriate supports, defend their rights and express their opinions. Mosaic advocates find their voices heard locally in their own communities, in statehouses across the land, and in several countries around the world. Mosaic's advocacy efforts include:

  • Broadening the capacity for advocacy at the local, state, national and international level.

  • Participating in numerous coalitions formed to affect public policy.

  • Networking with grassroots advocates to pass legislation affecting the lives of people who have disabilities.

  • Assisting other nonprofit organizations to develop and enhance their supports.

  • Increasing volunteer advocacy participation locally, nationally and globally.

Mosaic in Macomb works with several agencies who advocate for the rights of people with disabilities:

Mosaic in Macomb advocates for the people we support in many ways. We take trips to Springfield and consistently write letters to government officials voicing our concerns and making them aware of our needs.

We are kept current on advocacy issues the deal with important issues for people with developmental disabilities and the programs that serve them. If you would like to be forwarded e-mail alerts that are received at our office, we will add you to our e-mail alert list. To be added, use our Information Request Form and check Advocacy.
