Strategic Plan

Advocating Change Together (ACT) has a long history of bringing together Minnesotans with disabilities to advocate for their rights. In the Fall of 2024, ACT began a planning process to refresh its vision for the future and develop a 5-year strategic plan.

The plan is to start promoting and building support for ACT in the short term. As that is being established, that support will be used to strengthen our statewide network. In 2026, Advocating Change Together will look to solidify funding, as well as continue to grow the movement through 2029.

ACT Forward

ACT Forward is a group of ACT staff and stakeholders who are committed to the organization’s future. The group met several times during the Fall and Winter of 2024/2025 to develop this plan.
