⚖️Today is the 34th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). We celebrate this important civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public. The purpose of the law is to make sure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. 👍🏼Please share, in the comments below, how you or your employer support people with disabilities. #ADA34 #ThanksToTheADA
