Celebrate the ADA! July 26, 2024
Join us in celebrating an important moment in disability rights history. On July 26, 2024, we honor the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which helps millions of people with disabilities by promoting equality and accessibility. This day reminds us of the progress made and the ongoing work needed to ensure everyone is included and can participate fully in society. Let's celebrate and support the achievements and contributions of the disability community.
What is ADA?
ADA stands for Americans with Disabilities Act. This law ensures that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. It prevents discrimination in areas like jobs, transportation, public places, communications, and access to government programs and services. By setting clear rules, the ADA helps promote equality and accessibility for millions of Americans with disabilities.
How does the ADA help us daily and at work?
The ADA improves accessibility and inclusivity for people with disabilities, ensuring they have equal opportunities and rights.
Practical examples include better access to buildings, more job opportunities, and improved public services.
