Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is a crucial civil rights law that protects people with disabilities from discrimination and ensures they receive reasonable accommodations in schools, workplaces, and healthcare settings. The case Texas v. Becerra brought by 17 Republican Attorneys General threatens to undermine or dismantle these vital protections. Section 504 safeguards the rights and dignity of millions of Americans with disabilities. This law is essential for ensuring equal access and opportunity. I urge you to firmly oppose this lawsuit and take action to defend Section 504, whether by withdrawing from the case, filing an amicus brief in support, or intervening to uphold this landmark disability rights legislation. Preserving Section 504 is a matter of basic fairness and human rights that cannot be compromised.
