“I’ll take all night if I have to,” said young Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins as she crawled up the Capitol steps to demand that Congress finally pass the landmark Americans with Disabilities Act—a law that changed my life and the lives of so many others. As a result of her advocacy, the unwavering leadership of over 1,000 activists that day and the persistence of our entire community, the logjam was broken. And the ADA was signed into law 33 years ago today. | Senator Tammy Duckworth

On March 12, 1990, Jennifer Keelen and other disability rights activists from ADAPT (Americans Disabled for Accessible Public Transit) abandoned their mobility aids and began to climb and crawl up the steps of the Capitol in order to pressure Congress to pass the Americans with Disabilities Act. Known as the “Capitol Crawl,” this was a crucial moment in disability rights history. #DisabilityPrideMonth repost: [at]ChronicallyAnnoyed on TikTok | UNAC/UHCP
