??? Section 504 makes things more accessible for ALL OF US!
?? 17 Attorney Generals are suing the Federal Government, asking a judge to declare Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act unconstitutional.
???? Losing Section 504 would disproportionately impact people with disabilities, including students!
???? If we lose the protections in Section 504, students with physical disabilities (wheelchair and mobility device users), chronic health conditions (POTS, epilepsy, Crohn's, etc), sensory disabilities (blindness/visual impairments, Deafness/hearing impairments), learning disabilities (dyslexia, processing disorders, etc), and more may lose equal access to education and have fewer rights.
? What can you do? Contact your Attorney General (AG). If you live if one of these 17 states and you care about the rights of people with disabilities, we really need to you contact your AG: Texas, Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, and West Virginia.
