MOHR/ARRM 2026 Disability Services Day at the Capitol is March 24th, 2026
The MOHR/ARRM Disability Services Day at the Capitol will be held on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, at the Minnesota State Capitol Building. The rally will begin at 10 am, followed by meetings with legislators at 11 am. Legislator meetings are by appointment only and must be pre-registered. The purpose of this annual event is to educate Minnesota State Legislators about the legislative issues impacting disability services. MOHR's outlined 2026 legislative priorities are available for you to view or print to bring with you.
For anyone joining who would prefer a quieter listening option, the rally will be streamed on ARRM’s YouTube channel. Please bring headphones so you can follow along on your own device.
New Security Measures
Starting in February 2026, all visitors to the Minnesota Capitol Building will be required to undergo additional security screening, including limited entrances, bag scanners, and walk-through scanners. The screening entrances are ADA accessible, and staff will be available to assist people with disabilities, medical devices, strollers, or service animals. These new screenings may cause delays, so be prepared to arrive early. You can learn more about the new security measures and prohibited items on the Minnesota Department of Public Safety State Patrol website under Plan your visit to the Minnesota State Capitol.

No Foods or Liquids within the Rotunda

Come Say Hi
Be sure to stop by the tables in the Rotunda. MOHR will have rally towels, and ARRM will have pouches and printed copies of legislative priorities. Please help us keep the space clean by taking all personal items and materials with you when you leave. Any completed notes or cards may be left at the MOHR table for distribution on the day of the event. Program participants are invited to Share Your Story. Print out this sheet, share your story, and bring it to the event, where we will have a basket to collect them and then share with legislators. These messages can be about your situation, your needs/wants, how you benefit from and value services from your provider, and any message about funding or related direction.
