#OnThisDay in 1990, the ADA was signed into law—banning discrimination against people with disabilities in work, school, transit, and public life.

At Disenfranchised Writers Voices, we uplift marginalized stories—because when we support everyone, we all thrive.

A colorful illustrated poster celebrating the 35th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Bold text at the top reads, “It’s the 35th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).” Below it is the message: “Disenfranchised Writers Voices believes we’re all stronger when we support everyone.” The center features a diverse group of cartoon-style characters, including a person in a wheelchair, a person with a guide dog, individuals of various races, genders, and body types—some using assistive technology. A sign on the right says “Support Disabilities Rights.” At the bottom is a website: disenfranchisedwritersvoices.org. The background features a gradient of teal to gold with an inclusion pride tree symbol on the left.
