Persons with Disabilities are more likely to be poorer and have less resources than the average American. Who are already strapped for resources. Imagine then having to start a lawsuit everytime you were not given rightful accommodations like no accessible bathrooms or no ramp (which is incredibly likely, I’ve been denied them countless times). PwDs should have the right to have testers of compliance with the ADA, a heavily flawed and outdated law.
"As an intellectually disabled person who uses a wheelchair full time, my many experiences with inaccessibility have trained me to see equity gaps where others fail to. I am constantly reminded how the implementation of the Americans With Disabilities Act falls short." Our board member, Yvette Pegues, recently wrote an article for Slate to shed light on the important ADA case at the Supreme Court. https://lnkd.in/ecx_rNSY
