Advocates Take Unique Approach to Raise National Awareness

of Challenges Still Faced by People with Disabilities

 

Nationwide Bus Tour Urges Keep the Promise of the Promise of the ADA

 

(CITY, ST) – The landmark Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) – passed over 15 years ago with overwhelming bipartisan support – was created to ensure that people with disabilities could access the services to which all Americans are entitled. While the ADA has certainly changed the American landscape, many of its promises have not been kept. The Supreme Court has chipped away at many of the employment protections that Congress meant the ADA to provide, and too many public services are still inaccessible.

 

The mission of Road to Freedom Bus Tour is to alert Americans to the need for Congress to keep the promise of the ADA by restoring the protections that have been eroded over the years.
