The lawsuit filed by 17 state attorneys general, including Georgia's Chris Carr, seeks to undermine crucial disability rights protections enshrined in Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. This law prevents discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities by any employer or organization receiving federal funding. Its impact extends far beyond education, safeguarding equal access in healthcare, housing, transportation and other vital services. Disability advocates have highlighted how Section 504 enables accommodations that allow full participation in society. Dismantling this landmark legislation would strip away hard-won rights and represent a regressive step that disregards the dignity and equality of millions of Americans with disabilities. Preserving Section 504 is essential to upholding the principles of inclusion and ensuring a just society for all.
