30 yrs ago the Americans with Disabilities Act became law, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of disability in key areas of life. This civil rights statute was a critical step forward in creating an integrated society where ppl w/disabilities are treated equally #ADA30
But the fight for equality isn't over. People with disabilities still face discrimination and a lack of equal opportunities. For example the employment rate for people with disabilities is half that of the rate for people without disabilities. #ADA30
On the 30th anniversary of the ADA, we must recommit to fighting for a society where people with disabilities are fully equal—where they are able to fully participate in all areas of life, have equal opportunities, live independently, & never fear discrimination #ADA30A
