Disability Law Colorado's ADA30 Campaign:
CLICK HERE for Our ADA30 Celebration Page! July 26, 2020 marks 30 years since the signing of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) which became a law to prohibit discrimination against individuals with disabilities.
For years people with disabilities and their allies fought to have basic rights, and this law makes sure people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. People who don't have a disability can take for granted how easy it is to access some of the most basic areas around the community. But those with disabilities know how a trip to the grocery store or even movie theater comes with its own unique challenges. 61 million adults in the United States live with a disability, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and each one of us is unique. As we celebrate this milestone, lets take time to reflect on what the ADA means to us, “Thanks to the ADA,” and come together to continue our advocacy and conversations on civil rights and equality.
How You can Celebrate the ADA and Continue Important Conversations on Civil Rights and Equality
Since 1977 Disability Law Colorado has been the Centennial state's Protection & Advocacy System, a disability rights champion and a leader in driving change, protecting rights and improving the lives of Coloradans with disabilities and older people.
