WE CAN’T AFFORD TO *NOT* MAKE OUR CITIES

MORE ACCESSIBLE FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES


Establishments have had 33 years’ notice to comply with ADA, because that’s how long the legislation has been in place. 

Congress and state legislatures do not give employers six or 12 months (or 33 years, for that matter) to learn to stop abusing someone’s civil rights based on race, gender, or religion—so why exempt the ADA, the only civil rights legislation based on disability?

As a writer, planner, educator, and activist who has worked within the disability community for four decades, allow me to bust three myths that are commonly used as excuses for not complying with ADA.
