Crux of the case and problems: https://www.aapd.com/press-releases/cvs-statement/
ICYMI: CVS currently has a case before the Supreme Court to dismantle 504 protections for disabled people--their argument is that we should only be protected against discrimination that can be proven "purposeful." Maybe drop them a line and let them know you're watching? 🧵
It's been 36 years since the US Supreme Court decided Alexander v Choate saying disability discrimination covers disparate impact discrimination.
CVS is trying to undermine decades of legal precedent and destroy the our rights. #BackDownCVS https://twitter.com/RebeccaCokley/status/1454848279460683776
We applaud our friend @SamehNWahba who advances Urban transformation with inclusive design, inclusive financing, and sustained and authentic partnerships with civil society groups on the ground. Resilience and inclusion must go hand in hand.
