Ask Susan Collins to Support Legislation for a National Museum of Disability |
Dear Senator Collins:
We, the undersigned organizations and individuals of Maine, ask you to co-sponsor legislation alongside Senator Bob Casey to establish a museum dedicated to disability history and culture in Washington, D.C.
1 in 4 American adults have a disability, and that rate is even higher for Mainers. Disability impacts all Americans. The history of Americans with disabilities is as old as the history of the country and Americans with disabilities have been fighting for equal rights for generations.
A national museum would uplift the stories of disabled people and educate the public on the historical challenges, landmark legislation and judicial rulings, and technological advancements to support the disability community. Maine, as a leader in disability rights, should be leading the charge to uplift disability rights!
Sincerely,
[Signatories]
