ALT "It’s important to understand that disability is a natural part of the human experience and that people with disabilities deserve equal rights, opportunities, and respect. I wish people outside the disability community understood the significance of inclusive practices and the value of diverse perspectives in all aspects of life."
ALT 34 years ago, the ADA promised us equality. Today, that promise is under threat. As we celebrate this anniversary, I'm reminded how fragile our rights are. When a presidential candidate says disabled people “should just die,” it's not just offensive—it's dangerous. I'm a disabled woman. My life isn't up for debate. This ADA anniversary, let's do more than remember—let's act. 61 million disabled Americans are watching. We're your neighbors, friends, family. And we vote. Trump's words show how much work remains. Our right to exist shouldn't be questioned. Our lives have value. Our voices matter. Honor the ADA. Protect our future. Join us in this fight.
