Roll on Capitol Hill

Rally with Disability Leaders at Roll on Capitol Hill!

United Spinal Association’s 13th annual signature policy and advocacy conference, Roll on Capitol Hill (ROCH), took place this June in Washington, DC. The sweeping four-day agenda offered high level engagement for our corporate allies to advocate alongside United Spinal members and stakeholders to champion vital issues that advance the advocacy, empowerment and independence of more than 5.5 million U.S wheelchairs users, and the larger disability community.

With over 100 wheelchair users in attendance, corporate partners were invited to be part of over 200 scheduled Capitol Hill meetings, attended welcome and congressional awards receptions, as well as priority meetings that speak to our shared agendas.

This annual event strengthens the voice of our community and ensures all people with disabilities are engaged in policies that impact their quality of life and independence.
