30 years ago today, a thousand activists gathered at the Capitol Building to demand that Congress finally give Americans w/ disabilities the basic rights the Constitution promised. Dozens of them got out of their wheelchairs & crawled up the Capitol’s 83 steps, one inch at a time 
It’s thanks to the willpower shown by those activists that four months later the #ADA became law. It’s thanks to their strength that day at the Capitol that I can now roll through that building’s corridors to cast my votes in the Senate chamber.
We’ve come a long way in the past 30 years, but we still have a long way to go to make this country truly accessible for *all* Americans. So let’s make those activists who crawled up the steps proud, and keep fighting for the rights that we deserve. #ADA30
