An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Force DoJ to restore *all* ADA guidelines for business

49 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

The Justice Department's decision to remove disability guidelines for businesses is a major setback for the rights of people with disabilities. Removing crucial information on how to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) will only create confusion and make it harder for businesses to ensure accessibility. This move prioritizes corporate profits over the basic rights of a vulnerable community. The ADA is a landmark civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life. The removed guidelines covered essential topics like accessible facilities, reasonable accommodations, and rights during the COVID-19 pandemic. Without this guidance, businesses may struggle to provide equal access and opportunities, further marginalizing people with disabilities. The stated justification of reducing regulatory burdens on businesses is misguided. The cost of making reasonable accommodations is a small price to pay for promoting inclusivity and upholding the civil rights of millions of Americans. Accessibility should never be treated as an unnecessary burden, but rather a moral and legal obligation. I urge you to take immediate action to reinstate the disability guidelines and ensure the full enforcement of the ADA. Protecting the rights of people with disabilities should be a top priority, not an afterthought sacrificed for the sake of corporate interests. Every individual deserves equal access and opportunity, regardless of their disability status.
