PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES MUST ALWAYS BE ABLE TO USE THE MAIN ENTRANCE

SEPARATE, HIDDEN, LOCKED ELEVATORS ARE DANGEROUS AND DISCRIMINATORY 

This is my wife, waiting 20+ minutes to simply enter the Marshalls at 255 E. Flagler in downtown Miami.

The elevator must be summoned by ringing a bell, but no one responds. We phoned twice & got hung up on.

The downtown Miami Marshalls store discriminates against people with disabilities by segregating its elevator far from the main entrance.

Wheelchair users routinely wait a half hour for a response to unlock it.

For more than 2 decades, the Marshalls in downtown Miami segregates people with disabilities to an unmarked locked elevator far from its main entrance.

Its parent company earns $32 billion in one year.

It can afford an all-access elevator at its main entrance.

If I said you had to wait 30 minutes to enter my store if you are Black/Jewish/LGBTQ, I would expect boycotts/protests/lawsuits.

So why does downtown Miami Marshalls make people with disabilities wait half hour for staff to unlock elevator?

Discrimination strips dignity.

We have contacted a regional manager and told him the only thing that will change this is a new elevator for all without controlled access.
