Help us meet our September goal
Do you have just a minute, Friend?
We MUST break down barriers and make ALL forms of transportation more
accessible to 1 in 4 Americans who have a disability.
But we haven't met our September goal yet and there are only a
few hours left to raise the final $1,721 needed before midnight.
Please, give $25 or more now to help us reach this critical goal and
continue improving travel accessibility so we can make our world a
safer and better place for all of us.

Friend,
Planning all trips six to 12 months in advance? Your independence,
mobility, and safety taken away by airlines on about half of your
plane trips?
That sounds like a nightmare, but for people with disabilities, like
disability advocate Cory Lee, it's reality.
Even since the passage of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) in
1990, travelers with disabilities regularly face difficulties like
this.
Will you give $25 or more to Easterseals now to help us ensure that
ALL forms of transportation are more accessible to people with
disabilities and hold air travel companies accountable for their
treatment of customers with disabilities?

On a recent episode of our "Everything You Know About Disability
Is Wrong" podcast, wheelchair user and disability advocate Cory
Lee said that he must plan his trips six to 12 months in advance
- and he shared that airlines damage his wheelchair on about
HALF of all his plane trips.
But travel doesn't have to be this hard for 1 in 4 Americans
with disabilities, friend.
The biggest problem we face today is that travel companies do not
uphold existing standards - and commercial air travel is exempt
from the protections afforded to travelers by the ADA.
That's why travel, especially air travel, continues to be
inefficient, unreliable, and even dangerous for people with
disabilities.
But thanks to people like you, we're making enormous progress in
improving access. And with your financial support today, we can ensure
that planes, trains, buses, and all other forms of transportation can
connect ALL of us to family, friends, opportunities, and limitless
possibilities.
So please: Give $25 or more now to help us make America, and the
world, a more accessible and safe place for ALL of us.
