Understanding and Protecting Your Disability Rights Under Olmstead, the ADA, and Section 504

Please join us on Wednesday, August 19th, from 4 PM - 5:15 PM ET for our webinar, Understanding and Protecting Your Disability Rights Under Olmstead, the ADA, and Section 504.

This webinar is presented by the American Association of People with Disabilities, in partnership with the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law, the Center for Public Representation, and the George Washington University Hirsh Health Law and Policy Program. 

Recent Justice Department actions have threatened to undermine disabled people’s rights under foundational disability civil rights laws. The webinar will address the importance of the Supreme Court's Olmstead decision and the rights that disabled people have under the ADA and Section 504 to live in their own homes and communities, how recent threats may affect these rights, and 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.

Come hear from a group of policy leaders who are fighting for our rights: Maria Town, President and CEO of the American Association of People with Disabilities, Jennifer Mathis, Deputy Director of the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law, Cathy Costanzo, Executive Director of the Center for Public Representation, and Alison Barkoff, Hirsh Health Law & Policy Associate Professor and Hirsh Program Director at George Washington University's Milken Institute School of Public Health.

ASL and CART will be provided. Please contact [email protected] to request any other accommodations. RSVP for the webinar at this link.
