Get on the Bus

   
     

Have you seen the ADA Road to Freedom bus? The drivers are making 80 stops around the country. Their goal is to teach, celebrate, and prod: to teach disability history, celebrate the ADA and how far we’ve come, and prod us to work harder.

The Supreme Court has been weakening the ADA. We need to take action. We must protect our rights. Get on the bus. There’s work to do.
