Subject: Defend the Americans w/ Disabilities Act! Please share with the DS Community!

Please join us in our effort to defend the Americans with Disabilities Act. We are students in the UCLA Disability Studies minor, and we have helped to write a petition to protect the ADA from two bills currently in Congress which would infringe on the current civil rights of people with disabilities. Specifically the proposed bills would take away some rights from people with disabilities who need architecturally accessible buildings and public spaces.

You can learn more about and hopefully sign our petition at this link:

We would also love for you to promote it to others, for instance, by writing about it and sharing the link through social media, and by telling your friends, family, and community members.

Thank you!
