💙 Grateful for a Powerful ADA Commemoration Day! 💙
Today advocates, leaders, and community members came together at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford to honor the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Special thanks to:
Rep. Mike Demicco & Commissioner Amy Porter for their warm welcomes
Melissa Marshall, Mary Ann Langton, and Sheldon Toubman for their moving reflections
Cheryl Sharp (CHRO) for a powerful message on ADA and civil rights
Sen. Matt Lesser, Rep. Jillian Gilchrest, and Sen. Jeff Gordon for sharing legislative perspectives
Everyone who joined us for the networking, exhibits, and refreshments in the Second Floor Atrium

We were honored to share a historic interview with Justin Dart, reminding us why we must continue advocating for equity, access, and full inclusion.

Let’s keep the conversation going. The ADA is not just a law—it’s a promise. A promise of equal opportunity, dignity, and respect.
