"I now lift my pen to sign this Americans with #disabilities Act, and to say: let the shameful wall of exclusion finally come tumbling down," the president told the crowd. "God bless you all." According to Dimond, decades have passed, and both the Government Accountability Office and the National Council on Disability have reported that federal civil rights violations continue to plague undeserving #wards conscripted into #guardianship and #conservatorship cases nationwide.

Finding 'Pride in ADR'

By Chinwe Egbunike-Umegbolu posted 17-06-2024

Let's keep in mind the importance of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) -which encompasses policies and practices to foster an inclusive environment where individuals from diverse backgrounds feel valued and welcomed. It is imperative to state that many companies, organisations, and institutions have proactively implemented programs to promote diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplaces. While significant progress has been made for women and underrepresented groups /ethnicities, I believe there is still work to be done to advance the representation and inclusion of disabled individuals and the LGBTQIA community. The irony of DEI is that despite significant ...
