The House Education and Labor Committee has scheduled a hearing on the ADA Restoration Act (H.R. 3195, S. 1881) for next Wednesday, January 16, at 10:00 AM in 2175 Rayburn House Office Building.

Show Your Support:
1) Attend the hearing! We strongly encourage advocates to attend the hearing to show their support of this legislation. With the U.S. Chamber of Commerce lining up others from the business community who are in opposition of this bill, it's vital that we show a strong presence at the hearings to show the importance of this bill to our community. The accessible entrance to the building is the main entrance with the horseshoe drive off South Capitol Street.
2) Urge members to attend! We encourage advocates to contact the members of the Education and Labor Committee and urge them to come to the hearing. Use the link below to find their contact information or call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 (V) / (202) 224-3091 (TTY) and ask to be connected to their offices by name. Tell them that this hearing is important to people with disabilities because the ADA Restoration Act is vital to fixing damage done by the Courts to civil rights protections of people with disabilities in the workplace.
