SASHA BLAIR-GOLDENSOHN
Sasha Blair-Goldensohn stepped up his advocacy by working with legal nonprofit Disability Rights Advocates to bring a class action lawsuit.
He served as one of the plaintiffs alleging violations of the New
York City Human Rights Law due to the subway system’s inaccessibility.
It took six years, but in April 2023, a judge approved a final settlement compelling the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to budget for and
“add
elevators or ramps to create a stair-free path of travel [in] at least 95% of
the system’s currently inaccessible subway stations by 2055.”
