- The Arc of Pennsylvania
The Arc of Pennsylvania is a 70-year-old organization that provides advocacy & resources for citizens with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
(17)
The Arc was formed in 1949 by a small group of parents who wanted more for their children with “mental retardation” than an isolated life in a state institution. It has since grown into the largest member-driven advocacy movement in the nation. The Arc of Pennsylvania is affiliated with The Arc of the United States and 36 local chapters of The Arc serving 52 counties across the Commonwealth.

Happy 22nd Anniversary to the Olmstead v. LC decision! This case continues to impact the lives of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities today.
Today is the 22nd anniversary of Olmstead v. LC, a Supreme Court decision that declared people with disabilities have a right to receive care in their home and communities and to be fully integrated community members. Today, 22 years after the Supreme Court declared it a right, people with disabilities still struggle to access the services they need to thrive in their homes and communities. BUT, Congress has a chance to change this. The American Jobs Plan will invest $400 billion in home and community-based services for people with disabilities, while also creating jobs and supporting care infrastructure. Call on your Member of Congress to #HonorOlmstead by investing in HCBS: https://bit.ly/2TYJw0D

Maureen Cronin, Executive Director, The Arc of Pennsylvania spoke at Sen. Larry Farnese's hate crimes press conference re: SB96 HB505 extending hate crime protections for people with disabilities. "We know from research that people with disabilities are four to ten times more likely to be abused than people without disabilities," said Maureen Cronin, "thankfully we have these legislators who want to fix this problem. The Arc of Pennsylvania sincerely appreciates the leadership and commitment to get these bills over the finish line." #TheArcPA #PassSB96
"Since The Arc of Pennsylvania’s inception 68 years ago, we’ve been promoting the human rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities,” said Maureen Cronin, Executive Director of The Arc of Pennsylvania. “We firmly believe that children and adults with disabilities deserve the same opportunities as those without disabilities. It is simply unjust to deny an organ transplant based on disability. It sends a horrible message about the value of that person’s life who happens to have disabilities. The Arc of Pennsylvania is grateful to State Senator John Sabatina's for his leadership in promoting this key legislation. We ask the General Assembly to pass this legislation to help save the lives of people with disabilities who need these life-saving transplants.”#PaulsLaw #TheArcPA
