The Alliance for Rights and Recovery is excited to have hundreds of advocates come to AlbanyTOMORROW, Tuesday, February 10th, for our Annual Legislative Day!
As you all prepare for Legislative Day 2026, we are happy to officially release the Alliance’s full legislative day book and agenda for the day, elevating the issues we heard most during our regional forums from people in recovery, service providers, families, and communities across ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿. With federal funding threats, workforce instability, and growing unmet need, this moment demands a strong, unified voice. We have also included a video of our recent preparation session to help you get ready for the day!

Our Top Priority This Year: Fund a 2.7% Targeted Inflationary Increase (COLA)!
This rate increase is essential to stabilize the behavioral health workforce, address severe staffing shortages, and ensure agencies can continue delivering critical services. Without it, programs face closures, longer waitlists, and increased strain on already overwhelmed systems.
