Today, IMPACT CIL celebrates the 36th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)!

This landmark civil rights law expanded access and opportunity for millions of Americans with disabilities.

The ADA serves as a vital foundation that ensures equal rights, access, and inclusion in employment, public services, communication, and everyday life. Because of the ADA, barriers have been challenged, and doors have opened—but the work is not done.

We continue to advocate, educate, and push forward to protect and strengthen disability rights for future generations.
