President Trump’s Budget Released: Major Cuts To Programs and Services for People With Disabilities
The President has just revealed his budget to Congress which has cuts to many “safety net programs” like housing subsidies, community development block grants, Medicaid, etc. Part of that budget includes some nasty cuts to Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Insurance (SSI) – even though on the campaign trail candidate Trump promised to not cut Social Security or Medicare.
HR 620 requires a person with a disability to provide written notice to a business where they encounter barriers to access. The notice must provide sufficient detail to identify the prohibited act and how to comply with the law. The business would then have 60 days to acknowledge that there is a problem and then another 120 days to begin to fix it.
No other protected class or minority is forced to wait 180 days to enforce their civil rights!
CALL TO ACTION! ______________________________________________________________________
Arizona Representative Kyrsten Sinema has sponsored HR 620. Additionally, Arizona Representatives Trent Franks and Andy Biggs are members of the House Judiciary Committee, which will vote on HR620 as early as THIS week.
This bill continues to gain support from both sides of the aisle in Congress, and it’s on US to fight it!
