Statement on the 34th Anniversary of the ADA

Today, July 26, 2024, holds great significance for NCIL and over 61 million Americans with disabilities. It marks the 34th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

This landmark legislation is crucial in legally ensuring that the basic civil rights of people with disabilities are protected and enforced. Thanks to the ADA, many physical barriers have been removed, and individuals with all types of disabilities are experiencing an improved quality of life.

NCIL acknowledges and celebrates the significant advancements brought about by the ADA. However, we also recognize that this is just the beginning — there is still much work to be done!
