You have the right to vote free from intimidation or harassment. If you feel that you’ve been a victim of, or witnessed, voter intimidation or threats, please report the experience to the Election Protection Hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE (other languages available).

Before the Americans with Disabilities Act, a person with disabilities could be denied service in a restaurant or grocery store. An employer could refuse to interview or hire you because of a disability. With the ADA, we began to give every American a fair chance in the race of life.

The SSI asset limit of $2,000 was set in 1989 when gas was only $1 per gallon! Gas prices have TRIPLED since then, yet SSI asset limits remain unchanged. Tell Congress to #UpdateSSI by supporting the SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act: bit.ly/3XhvnZq

People with disabilities are the largest and most diverse minority group within the population, representing all abilities, ages, races, ethnicities, religions and socio-economic backgrounds. Access to polls is essential. Every voice must be heard. @RevUpVA @AmeriDisability

Last week AAPD and 90+ partner orgs called on @CNN to make Thursday's presidential debate fully accessible and ask about key #DisabilityPolicy issues. CNN has failed to respond, ignoring 38+ million disabled voters. RT if you want @jaketapper and @DanaBashCNN to #CripTheDebate 🗳️
