Passing a law is just the first step.
After the Americans with Disabilities Act became law in 1990, it didn’t mean everything in the U.S. was magically accessible.
It takes the enduring commitment of disability rights activists and watchdog groups like DRTx to ensure the ADA and other laws are upheld.
It takes ALL of us to make sure people with disabilities are treated humanely and fairly and included in every part of American life.
"Civil rights aren't given. You have to fight to get them, and then you have to fight to keep them."
- Anita Cameron, disability advocate who pushed for the passage of the ADA
