Take Action Now to Protect Section 504 against *Texas v. Kennedy*

The National Federation of the Blind is calling on all members to take
immediate action in response to the *Texas v. Kennedy* lawsuit, which poses
a direct threat to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

For more than five decades, Section 504 has served as a fundamental civil
rights protection, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of disability in
programs and activities that receive federal funding.

The *Texas v. Kennedy* lawsuit challenges the federal government’s
authority to enforce Section 504 and risks weakening or eliminating key
protections that blind people in the United States rely on every day. This
attack endangers our access to education, employment, public services, and
other essential opportunities.

For more background on the case, please reference our recording from the
NFB Information Call
<https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=42297&qid=12401834>on Wednesday,
March 18, 2026. Additional resources for background on this matter can be
accessed in our Letter from nine NFB affiliates to their state attorneys
general regarding Section 504 lawsuit | National Federation of the Blind
<https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=42298&qid=12401834>.

Nine states are involved in this lawsuit: Texas, Alaska, Florida, Indiana,
Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, and South Dakota.
Call to Action for Members in the Nine States

Members in these states should immediately contact their governor and state
attorney general and urge them to withdraw from the case.

Sample Message for Nine States

Here is what to say when calling your governor or attorney general (for
members in the nine affected states):

Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I am a constituent and a member of the
National Federation of the Blind. I am calling to urge [Governor/Attorney
General Name] to withdraw our state from the *Texas v. Kennedy *lawsuit.

This lawsuit threatens Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, a critical
civil rights protection that ensures equal access for blind and disabled
Americans.

Weakening Section 504 would have serious consequences for education,
employment, and participation in public life. Please take immediate action
to remove our state from this harmful lawsuit. Thank you.
Call to Action for Members in Other States

Members in the remaining forty-one states should contact the Governor of
Texas and the Texas Attorney General to express opposition to the lawsuit
and urge Texas to step away from this effort to undermine Section 504.

Here is the email for Texas, kenneth.paxton at oag.Texas.gov
<https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=42299&qid=12401834>
Thank you for Taking Action

Your voice is critical. Every message sent and every phone call made helps
demonstrate that blind Americans will not stand by while our civil rights
are threatened. Please take action today.

Reach out to your state officials if you are in one of the nine
participating states, or contact Texas state leadership if you reside
elsewhere. Together, we can protect Section 504 and defend the right of
blind people to live, learn, work, and participate fully in society.
