The Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law on July 26th, 1990. While the ADA was monumental in establishing guidelines for accessibility, it did not fix all access issues. Even 32 years later, disabled people continue to have to fight for equal access — and here are just three examples. Image 1: Infographic. Black, purple, and green text reads “3 Current Disability Access Issues.” The text is surrounded by the LCI logo in various sizes. Image 2: White text on a green background reads “1. Disabled people can legally be paid less than minimum wage. This is known as subminimum wage, a practice that allows employers to pay disabled people less for the same work, solely based on disability. In some states, subminimum wage is less than a dollar per hour.” Image 3: White text on a black background reads “2. If a disabled person is receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), or Medicaid, their benefits can be reduced or revoked upon marriage. These programs provide lifesaving benefits, leaving many disabled people unable to get married.” Image 4: White text on a purple background reads “3. In June, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) vowed to make 95% of NYC subway stations accessible with elevators or ramps -- but said it will take 33 years. Despite the ADA's guidance for the last 32 years, the MTA says only 24% of the stations are currently accessible.” #Accessibility #AccessibilityForAll #AccessibilityMatters #AccessibilityAwareness #AccessibilityFail #TheFutureIsAccessible #Ableism #AbleismAwareness #AbleismExists #DisabilityAwareness #DisabilityAdvocate #DisabilityJustice #DisabilityInclusion #DisabilityRights #DisabilityLife #DisabilitySupport #Disabled #DisabledLife #DisabledPeople #Accommodations #DisabilityAdvocacy #DisabilityServices #NotSpecialNeeds
