\"\"<\/a>An Attack on OUR ADA!<\/strong><\/p>\n

February 12, 2018<\/p>\n

Last week we sent out a call for help to contact Representatives to vote NO on H.R. 620.<\/p>\n

Today \u2013 we still need your help. The House of Representatives is expected to vote on ADA Education and Reform Act of 2017 (H.R. 620) this week. You need to tell your Representatives that this bill would seriously weaken the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA); any attack on the ADA is a threat to our civil rights! As a refresher, watch Howard\u2019s AHA from April 2017 sharing how this bill attacks our rights.<\/p>\n

Watch ASL Video: https:\/\/www.nad.org\/2017\/04\/18\/ask-howard-anything-april-2017\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Would you want to go to a bank, a restaurant, or a hospital, and be told that you could not get in until you send a letter first, explaining why they are not accessible and give them time to find a way to let you into their facility? We should not wait to be able to access a bank, a restaurant, or especially a hospital! If this bill passes, those businesses and other places that are not yet accessible will not comply with the ADA until someone sends a letter explaining why they are not accessible. These businesses and other places should already be accessible.<\/p>\n

YOU MUST DO SOMETHING: a letter template is available in Word to download (See below or go to their website) or you can copy\/paste from here. Find your Representative here. We cannot allow Congress to attack this bill \u2013 tell your Representative to vote NO on HR 620.<\/p>\n
