Details:
Missouri is one of the states participating in a federal lawsuit known as Texas v. Kennedy, often called the "504 lawsuit." The case could have important implications for disability rights and the future of community integration.
Join Easterseals Midwest, St. Louis Arc, and the Missouri Developmental Disabilities Council for a free educational webinar that explains how the lawsuit began, what legal questions are being considered, and why Missouri's participation matters.
Our panel of legal and disability policy experts will discuss how the case could affect people with disabilities and their families. They'll also cover related federal actions that may influence the rights of people with disabilities to live, work, and participate in their communities.
You'll leave with a better understanding of the issues and practical ways to make your voice heard through advocacy.
