“We welcome people of all ages and abilities to come together and celebrate this important milestone. Let’s honor the progress we’ve made and commit to a more accessible future.” –Marci Boucher, CEO & President of Independence First
“TheADA helps people like myself, my family, my friends, my co-workers, and more. Throughout its 35-year history, individuals opposed to inclusivity and accessibility have repeatedly attempted to weaken and diminish it. It is up to each of us to help protect ADA and to strengthen it through education and enforcement.” —Brian Peters, Advocacy & Accessibility Services Specialist at Independence First
