The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is turning 34 this year! On July 26, 1990, President G.H.W. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act into law. This important civil rights law protects the rights of people with disabilities by ensuring people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone. Join us this month in celebrating #ADA34 and the hard work and advocacy of the disability community!
