Protect 504

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act has been a cornerstone of disability rights for over 50 years—so why is it under attack now?

In this special mini-sode, we are joined by Alison Barkoff, former head of HHS' Administration for Community Living and a lifelong disability advocate, to unpack the legal battle, the misinformation fueling it, and the action we need to take right now.

This isn’t a policy debate, it’s a fight for our rights, our healthcare, and our futures. PDF Transcript Web Transcript
