Christine LuBean<p>🚨 Disability rights are under attack in 17 states! 🚨</p><p>There’s a lawsuit trying to get rid of Section 504, the law that protects disabled people in schools, workplaces, and public spaces. If they succeed, it means:</p><p>❌ Schools wouldn’t have to provide accommodations (no extra test time for ADHD, no wheelchair access, no diabetes care in class).<br>❌ Workplaces wouldn’t have to adjust for disabilities (no remote work, no flexible scheduling, no accessibility requirements).<br>❌ Public spaces could ignore accessibility needs (buildings, buses, and services wouldn’t have to be usable for disabled people).</p><p>📍 These 17 states are trying to gut 504 protections:<br>Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia.</p><p>If you live in one of these states, contact your state reps &amp; governor! If this lawsuit succeeds, other states could follow, or it could reach the Supreme Court and hurt everyone.</p><p>More details here: <a href="https://dredf.org/protect-504/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">dredf.org/protect-504/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>📢 Please share this!
