Disability rights

Note: This page is a reproduction of the Hillary for America policy proposal on disability rights.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was a tremendous step forward: It opened educational opportunities, expanded transportation, made sure everyone can enter buildings, and ensured that no one would be turned down for a job because of a disability. Hillary Clinton is committed to realizing the promise of the ADA and continuing to expand opportunity for the 50 million Americans living with a disability—because we’re stronger together.

As president, Hillary will:

Work to fulfill the promise of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Expand support for Americans with disabilities to live in integrated community settings.

Improve access to meaningful, gainful employment for people with disabilities.

Provide tax relief to help the millions of families caring for aging relatives or family members with chronic illnesses or disabilities.

Hillary has spent her life fighting for the rights of Americans with disabilities.
