#section504 — Public Fediverse posts

RE: https://stefanbohacek.online/@stefan/116397445458387945

Thanks for the alert!

Sadly, I don't know anyone living in those 9 states who could call/write.

But there's a note saying other folks should contact the Texas Attorney General’s office using this email:

[email protected]

"Tell them that people across the country are watching this case, and that the disability community — and everyone who supports civil rights — expects better."

I'll be sending an email!

If you live in TX, AK, FL, IN, KS, LA, MO, MT, or SD:

"It is easy to feel that a single email cannot change the course of a federal lawsuit. But that thinking misunderstands how political and legal pressure actually works."

I remember how much I struggled in school and it was only after getting an #IEP through #IDEA that I started getting accomodations. That was in high school and I've thought what if I'd been able to have them earlier. Would I be struggling less now? There's no way of knowing, but a lot of kids will be left without accomodations because of this. Is there still #Section504 through the #ADA I wonder? I know that was being threatened months ago.

Friends, please help make the public aware of Section 504's importance by sharing your story. Read the below post from my girlfriend, Kaleigh Brendle, to learn more. Your voice matters. Thank you. #Save504

🎙️ I guest hosted an Article 19 episode with Theo W. Braddy: “We Can’t Go Back on Section 504” Section 504 protects disability rights in schools, jobs & healthcare. It’s not just policy—it’s personal. 🎧 Listen: tammaninc.com/learn/we-can... #Accessibility #Section504 #Disability

We Can’t Go Back on Section 50...

The Opening Arguments Poscast #1141 - Are Republican AGs really trying to have some of the most important federal protections for disability rights declared unconstitutional? Attorney Jenessa Seymour joins to explain the history and purpose of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the pending challenge to a Biden-era regulatory update intended to protect trans health care rights.

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.

The Trump admin is coming for disability rights. Section 504 has protected disabled people for 50 years—now it’s under attack. If they succeed, accessibility, education, & jobs will be gutted. This is a crisis. Pay attention. #Section504 #TexasvBecerra #DisabilityRights #Disability

"…Carter often struggled to implement key parts of his agenda, and disability rights was no exception. So disabled people had to step in to do the work that the non-disabled simply couldn't get done on their own."

I'm considering writing up an article on how to effectively file complaints and report #accessibility issues. Anyone here consider themselves expert in these areas? If so, I'd love to collaborate on something. #ADA #CVAA #EAA #Section504 #Section 508 #IDEA

Drunk History's hilarious reenactment of the Section 504 sit-in, which eventually led to the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), which was passed on this day in 1990.

Don't forget, rights are rarely "granted" by asking politely; they must be fought for. As far as those in power are concerned (Cis, White, Rich Men) if it's not a problem for THEM, it's not a problem.

Watch this short documentary with vintage 1970s news footage about Judith Heumann and many others struggling to get Section 504--which was already U.S. federal law--to actually get enforced.

Cringe at the terms used in the 1970s to describe people with disabilities...

Ich weiß nicht mehr, wann ich das erste Mal von #JudyHeumann gehört habe. Sie war schon immer da, seit ich selbst aktivistisch unterwegs bin. Aber was sie alles bewegt und geleistet hat, habe ich eigentlich erst durch das Video von Drunk History so richtig verstanden.
Dann kam die tolle Dokumentation CripCamp auf Netflix. Die nicht nur den Kampf um #Section504 zeigt, sondern auch wie das schlussendlich zum #ADA, Americans with Disabilities Act, führte. Immer dabei: Judy Heumann.
