The ADA Anniversary
On July 26, we celebrate 35 years of progress, empowerment, and equal rights. The Americans with Disabilities Act—signed in 1990—opened doors, removed barriers, and changed lives. From accessible buildings to inclusive workplaces, the ADA has helped millions thrive—and there’s still more to do. Let’s keep building a world where every ability is a strength. Celebrate.
