Trump's Department of Energy wants to eliminate a decades-old rule that requires federally-funded buildings to be accessible to people with disabilities. I submitted a public comment against this cruel proposal and you should, too. #mileg #Save504 dredf.org/action-alert...

Reading #physicaltherapists & #occupationaltherapists think #IDEAand504 are "not going to be touched bc they are legally mandated - just maybe moved to different department" is INSANE.

Have they not witnessed the destruction of #USAID & #CFPB?

Wake up!

Disability rights are human rights. Section 504 is not up for debate. We have fought too hard for access and inclusion to let these states strip away our rights.

Make the calls. Send the emails. Speak out.

A broken heart graphic split into two halves, featuring accessibility symbols such as a wheelchair ramp, braille text, and diverse people with disabilities, including a person using a cane, a person in a wheelchair, an amputee, a symbol representing neurodivergence and autism, a person with a hearing aid, and a guide dog. Outside the heart, two people stand in line. one in front holding a shield. On the other side, bold text reads: "Section 504." Above the heart, the text reads: "Love includes everyone. Protect disability rights." The color scheme is red and pink, evoking a Valentine’s Day theme while delivering a strong advocacy message.

17 states are attacking disability rights by challenging Section 504. If we allow one group’s rights to be erased, who’s next?

Call your attorney general. Stand up for Section 504. Access isn’t a privilege...it’s a right. dredf.org/protect-504/

This is just the beginning. Repeal of 504 will emboldened them to push for repeal of #ADA.

We all should be vested in this fight as we will all at some point become either disabled or dead.

17 states are suing for the removal of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act which guarantees discrimination protection for people with disabilities. This law makes it so kids can get special education, buildings are accessible, and doctors don’t discriminate. #Save504

There is literally no reason to dismantle workplace and education protections for disabilities unless you hate seeing disabled people exist. #Save504
