July marks the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, one of our nation’s proudest civil rights triumphs. By prohibiting discrimination against people with disabilities in the workplace and beyond, the ADA ensures anyone with a disability has the opportunity to enter the workforce and can seek out jobs with confidence. Thanks to the ADA, many workers with disabilities around the country have enjoyed the dignity that comes from work − and have made our economy stronger as a result.
