ACB signed onto a letter with other disability advocates to reach out to Congress to speak out against a new “notice and cure” bill that would amend the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Similar bills have unfortunately continued to pop up over the years. These bills would give businesses a timeframe to make their services accessible to people with disabilities after they are notified of the access barrier.

Dear ACB,

Please see the below advocacy alert from Prevent Blindness regarding the opportunity to ask your representatives to support funding for vision and eye health programs.
