Brindisi Rallying To Protect The Americans With Disabilities Act
Legislation passed recently in Congress threatens the Americans With Disabilities Act, seen for almost 30 years worldwide as a landmark of disability rights laws. I have received numerous calls from constituents concerned with the impact this legislation will have on the progress we have made should it become law. Recently, I was joined by advocates for individuals with disabilities at the Resource Center for Independent Living in Utica, to urge our federal representatives to rethink this misguided legislation that threatens equal opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
