Is this the America we want?
The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 was signed into law by President Richard Nixon in September of 1973. Section 504 of that act codified the civil rights of persons with disabilities. “No otherwise qualified individual” can be, simply because of their disability, “denied the benefits of, or subjected to discrimination" in any program or activity that receives federal funds.
Now 16 states have joined Texas in a lawsuit asking the court to declare Section 504 unconstitutional.

#HUD enforces numerous #CivilRights laws, including the #FairHousing Act & aspects of the #ViolenceAgainstWomen Act & the #AmericansWithDisabilities Act.
