LITTLE LOBBYISTS ACTION NETWORK

LITTLE LOBBYISTS ACTION NETWORK LITTLE LOBBYISTS ACTION NETWORK (LLAN) IS A GROUP OF FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN WHO HAVE COMPLEX MEDICAL NEEDS AND DISABILITIES. WE ADVOCATE TO PROTECT AND EXPAND THEIR RIGHTS THROUGH EDUCATION, OUTREACH, AND POLICY CHANGE. BORN IN RESPONSE TO HARMFUL LEGISLATION, WE MEET WITH LAWMAKERS OFTEN WITH OUR CHILDREN AND THEIR MEDICAL EQUIPMENT-TO SHOW THE REAL-LIFE IMPACT OF PROGRAMS LIKE THE ACA, MEDICAID, ADA, AND IDEA. OUR GOAL IS TO ENSURE CHILDREN WITH COMPLEX MEDICAL NEEDS CAN ACCESS THE HEALTH CARE, EDUCATION, AND INCLUSION THEY NEED TO THRIVE. WE ALSO EMPOWER OTHER FAMILIES TO ENGAGE IN ADVOCACY AT THE LOCAL AND STATE LEVEL.
