Celebrating 33 Years of the Signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
July 26, 2023, marks 33 years since the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA was signed into law to ensure people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else.

DRC values all forms of diversity, and we are committed to a culture of belonging where all people are welcome.
