Dream Catchers - ADA 30th Anniversary and to the next 30 years Les Paul

I have had a disability for 36 years now which is much longer than not having one. I began volunteering to form a disability support group back in 1999. Was it hard yes, did I feel like giving up many times yes, are we ready to stand up for freedom and justice? Well we all should

The Americans with Disabilities act turned 30 years old. It was big event that was heard around the World but isn’t now the time to make it Bigger Better and Bolder? Well yes in my option the signing of the ADA by then President George W Bush Senior was able to be done because advocates all across the USA came together and took a stand for equality and the right to live Independently as possible as he signed the ADA into law.

I started volunteering with 2 powerful ladies who were also my mentors and teachers who also have disabilities to form a peer support group 22 years ago the Dream Catchers

Now I say time it is to feel a hunger and a yearning for the freedom of equality and start working together again and bring new life and strength. Below are a few of the many links to Independence and Freedom I am going to speak about. The Past Present and Future of the Disability Rights movement and why we must keep on fighting for Freedom, justice and liberty for ALL!!!
