I urge you to withdraw your state from the misguided lawsuit Texas v. Becerra that seeks to dismantle Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. This vital law and its implementing regulations are essential for protecting the civil rights of people with disabilities by prohibiting discrimination and ensuring equal access across all sectors that receive federal funding, including education, healthcare, transportation, and more. The updated Section 504 rules strengthened protections by providing clear guidance on reasonable accommodations and accessibility requirements. Striking down these rules would be a devastating setback, stripping away hard-won rights and enabling systemic exclusion of disabled individuals from full participation in society. As your constituent with a disability, I have directly benefited from the safeguards afforded by Section 504. [Include personal examples of how Section 504 has enabled your access and inclusion]. Dismantling this law would undermine my fundamental freedoms and human dignity. Rather than attacking the civil rights of a marginalized community, I implore you to uphold your sworn duty to protect the rights and wellbeing of all citizens, including those with disabilities. Join the right side of history by immediately withdrawing from this harmful litigation and reaffirming your commitment to an equitable, accessible society for all. The disability community deserves leaders who will champion our basic rights, not attempt to revoke them.
