SUMMARY:Holding Court: Expanding Disability Rights and Defending the ADA 35 Years Later
DESCRIPTION:Alliance for Justice is inviting you to join us on for Holding Court: Expanding Disability Rights and Defending the ADA 35 Years Later. This virtual conversation will feature Erin Prangley\, Director of Public Policy at The National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities and Jennifer Mathis\, Deputy Director of the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law. AFJ President Rachel Rossi will be moderating the discussion. \n  \nOur panelists will reflect on the 35th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act and what the disability justice movement\, along with the wider progressive movement is doing and needs to do to continue expanding rights and accessibility. The discussion will also focus on the impact that state and federal legislation has had on people with disabilities; court decisions that have expanded or hindered disability rights; and the state of disability rights under the second Trump administration. \n  \nThe ADA was signed into federal law on July 26\, 1990\, and last month\, the ADA celebrated its 35th anniversary. The ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities and ensures equal opportunities in various areas\, including employment and public accommodations. The Supreme Court has heard several cases concerning the ADA\, and there have been major victories\, as well as rulings that have significantly narrowed the scope of the ADA\, making it more difficult for individuals to be protected under the law. \n  \nYou must register in advance for this event: Registration Link
