Think the ADA solved accessibility? The ADA changed millions of lives by expanding civil rights protections and making communities more accessible. 36 years later, we've made meaningful progress, but barriers to voting, transportation, housing, employment, and healthcare still exist.

A light blue background features the headline, "Think the ADA solved accessibility? Not quite." Below, text reads, "36 years later, here's what's changed, and what still needs to." A Black person using a wheelchair looks over their shoulder, with a purple circle behind them. In the foreground, a protest sign reads, "Disability Rights Are Human Rights." A yellow arrow indicates there are more slides.A purple background with a historic black-and-white photo of disability rights advocates, many using wheelchairs, participating in a protest. One sign reads, "Access Is a Civil Right." The headline says, "Before the ADA:" followed by four points: businesses could refuse service, public buildings often weren't accessible, many workplaces didn't have to provide accommodations, and disability discrimination had few legal protections.A light blue background with a color photo of a smiling person using a wheelchair outdoors. The headline reads, "Thanks to the ADA:" followed by four achievements: curb cuts became common, accessible entrances became the standard, employers must provide reasonable accommodations, and millions gained stronger civil rights protections. A highlighted message at the bottom reads, "Accessibility benefits everyone and strengthens our communities."A purple background with the headline, "Accessibility isn't finished." Text explains that people with disabilities still face barriers to voting, transportation, employment, housing, and healthcare. The graphic ends with the messages, "Accessibility is a right, not a privilege," and, "Together, we can build a democracy where everyone can participate." The Feel Good Action logo appears throughout the carousel.

Today, we celebrate National Disability Independence Day and the 36th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Here's to celebrating progress and continuing the work toward a more accessible future. 💜

The first slide features the headline, "National Disability Independence Day," with the subheading, "36 years ago today, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became law." A smiling person using a wheelchair works on a laptop in front of a blurred office background, accented with purple and green graphic elements. A yellow arrow in the bottom-right corner indicates there is another slide.The second slide explains that the ADA is a landmark civil rights law that expanded protections for millions of disabled Americans, helping make workplaces, schools, transportation, public spaces, and civic participation more accessible. It also celebrates the progress made, recognizes the work still ahead, and honors the disability community's continued leadership in creating a more accessible future. A smiling person using a white cane stands on the right side of the graphic against a light purple background with green graphic accents. Feel Good Action's logo appears at the bottom of both slides.

Your vote shouldn't depend on whether your mail carrier had a perfect week. 📬 Yesterday, the Supreme Court upheld Mississippi's mail ballot law, allowing ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted if they arrive within five days where state law permits. *Voting rules vary by state.

Graphic with a purple background and the headline, "Your Vote Shouldn't Depend on Whether Your Mail Carrier Had a Perfect Week." The graphic explains that a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling allows states with mail ballot grace periods to continue counting ballots that are postmarked by Election Day, even if they arrive a few days later, where state law allows. A highlighted text box reads, "When eligible voters follow voting rules, their voices deserve to be heard." The graphic reminds viewers that voting rules vary by state and encourages them to check their state's ballot deadlines before voting. A call to action at the bottom reads, "Learn more at feelgoodaction.org."
