https://goo.gl/SYq8qt

Today’s episode is about accessibility and the Americans with Disabilities Act with Lia Seth and Dara Baldwin. Lia shares her experiences navigating public spaces as person with an invisible disability and a recent experience at a music venue that shows what accessibility should be all about. Dara, a disability rights policy analyst, gives an overview of HR 620, the ADA Education & Reform Act of 2017, and what’s at stake for the disability community.

Please note: The status of the bill has changed since the recording of Dara’s interview. H.R.620 will go to a House floor vote on Thursday, February 15, 2018. See the links below on how you can protest and contact your elected representatives. The time is now, ya’ll!
