https://www.hillaryclinton.com/feed/making-history-a-little-more-inclusive-one-button-at-a-time/Twenty-six years ago today, we passed the Americans with Disabilities Act.
While the legislation was a huge step forward for our countryit opened educational opportunities, expanded transportation, made sure everyone can enter buildings, and ensured that no one would be turned down for a job because of a disabilityour work is far from over.
We need to build a more inclusive society where all Americans can thrive. That means doing big things like improving access to housing, transportation, and meaningful employment (in addition) to seemingly small thingslike adding braillethat allow Americans with disabilities to fully participate in our democracy and society.
We took a small step in making that history a bit more inclusive and accessible by brailling our Stronger Together Buttons.
