SUMMARY:What is Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act? And How Can We Defend it?
DESCRIPTION:Section 503 is part of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Section 503 requires businesses that have contracts with the federal government to “take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment qualified individuals with disabilities.” Section 503 regulations require that businesses with federal contractors use voluntary surveys to track their progress in hiring and employing people with disabilities. The regulations also include a goal for contractors — businesses with federal contracts should try to have a workforce that includes 7% people with disabilities. \n  \nA new proposal from the Administration would delete these requirements. This will harm the employment of people with disabilities. Join us to learn about Section 503 and how to defend it. \n  \nPresenters: \n\nClaudia Center (she/her)\, Legal Director\, Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund (DREDF)\n\nJennifer Mathis (she/her)\, Deputy Director\, Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law\n\nTentative: Taryn Mackenzie Williams (she/her)\, Former Assistant Secretary for Disability Employment Policy\, US Department of Labor\n\n  \n**ASL and CART (live captions) provided. You must register in advance for this webinar: Registration Link
