Support from the Faith Community for ADA Restoration

A letter signed by faith-based organizations went to Senate and House offices today in support of ADA Restoration.

From the letter:
Sacred texts from our diverse faith traditions agree upon the inherent value and sacredness of every human being, regardless of physical or mental ability. Our traditions teach us of our moral obligation to provide assistance to those in need, ensuring equal access for all people and helping facilitate the full participation of individuals with disabilities in our communities. We are committed to eradicating all forms of discrimination and intolerance, which alienate individuals and divide our society. We believe that the restoration of civil rights to the disabled community is of crucial importance to this struggle.

Read the faith community's letter to Congress urging passage of the ADA Restoration Act.
