Recent U.S. Department of Justice actions have threatened to undermine the rights of disabled people under foundational disability civil rights laws. The American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) and several partners are hosting a webinar on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, from 4 PM – 5:15 PM ET to help you navigate these threats and protect your rights. Register for the webinar here.
Speakers will address the importance of the Supreme Court’s Olmstead decision and the rights that disabled people have under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 to live in their own homes and communities. Speakers will also discuss how recent threats may affect these rights, and teach you what you can do to protect them. The “integration mandate” of the ADA and Section 504 is one of the most fundamental rights that disabled people have, and it is critical that we take collective action to preserve it.
ASL and CART will be provided. Please contact [email protected] to request any other accommodations.
This webinar is presented by AAPD in partnership with the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law, the Center for Public Representation, and The George Washington University’s Hirsh Health Law and Policy Program.
