As Americans with disabilities get ready to celebrate the 30th anniversary
of the Americans with Disability Act, we are asking all of you to share a
short story of how the ADA impacted your life. Below is a forwarded email,
explaining what we need. Please send us a short story! Send it to Jack
Brandt at brandtj at vcu.edu
Pass this on to all your networks and encourage them to send their stories
too.
Thank you!

Subject: HELP NEEDED: ADA Celebration

The Center for Disability Leadership supports leaders from the lived
experience and promote their leadership skills in their community. As we
prepare to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the American with Disabilities
Act (ADA) on July 26th, we are gathering short stories on how the ADA
impacts your life.  We are going to post these stories on the CDL Facebook
page.

We are asking you to write one to three sentences on how the ADA impacts
your life. Please send a picture of yourself. If you would rather do a
short video or a voice clip please send it to 804-410-4130.

Below is an example of a short story:

My name is Jack Brandt. I have been working for 15 years and the ADA helps
me so I can get the accommodations that I need to do my job!

Attached are some guidelines on what is in a post. If you need help with
your story, please contact me.

Thank you,
Jack
