The ADA 20th Anniversary Proclamation Campaign

Celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the ADA by being part of the 20th Anniversary Proclamation Campaign http://www.adasymposium.org/.

Across the United States, communities are planning events to celebrate the progress that has been made through implementation of the ADA. However, there is still much that needs to be done to fulfill the mission of the ADA--full inclusion of people with disabilities into American life. That is why the National ADA Symposium is inviting counties, cities and towns, state governments, businesses, and organizations across the United States to not only celebrate the 20th anniversary of the ADA, but to also recommit to the goal of full inclusion.

The goal is to have 2010 entities sign a "Proclamation of Recommitment" by the 2010 National ADA Symposium. We will use this website to list those entities that have signed a proclamation and to suggest activities to improve accessibility that can be achieved prior to the ADA's 20th anniversary. This project will also provide examples of what communities are currently doing to improve accessibility, highlighting creative, solution-oriented approaches.
