The Trump admin is coming for disability rights. Section 504 has protected disabled people for 50 years—now it’s under attack. If they succeed, accessibility, education, & jobs will be gutted. This is a crisis. Pay attention. #Section504 #TexasvBecerra #DisabilityRights #Disability

Drunk History's hilarious reenactment of the Section 504 sit-in, which eventually led to the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), which was passed on this day in 1990.

Don't forget, rights are rarely "granted" by asking politely; they must be fought for. As far as those in power are concerned (Cis, White, Rich Men) if it's not a problem for THEM, it's not a problem.

Watch this short documentary with vintage 1970s news footage about Judith Heumann and many others struggling to get Section 504--which was already U.S. federal law--to actually get enforced.

Cringe at the terms used in the 1970s to describe people with disabilities...
