Dear John,

The United States Supreme Court will hear a case tomorrow that could upend our ability to enforce the protections guaranteed by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

The case, called Acheson Hotels v. Laufer, will decide whether individuals with disabilities who investigate compliance with the ADA - known as testers - can sue businesses for discrimination when their rights are violated.

But well-funded businesses are pushing back, arguing that testers should not be able to hold them accountable. Why? Because they don’t want to comply with the ADA.

We need your help to continue defending the ADA in courts, on Capitol Hill, and fending off attacks by hostile legislators around the country. Can you support this work with a donation today?

Businesses have had more than 30 years to come into compliance with the ADA. 30 years! But many continue to flout the law, mainly because they get away with it. They know most Americans with disabilities do not have the time or resources to file a lawsuit each time they encounter a barrier – there are just too many!

That is why the role played by testers is so important. And it is critically important the Supreme Court affirms the ability of testers to continue their investigations and enforcement of the ADA.

Please consider donating today.

A gift of just $10, $15, or $25 goes much farther than you think. Thank you for your support!
