Americans with Disabilities Act 30th Anniversary event

Join us for the 30th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, "ADA 30: Equity, Diversity, Inclusion."

July 22, 2020
Event Date2020-07-22T13:00:00 - 2020-07-22T14:30:00

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the signing of the American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA). While the ADA has provided the disability community with increased access, we recognize that much work still needs to be done to ensure equitable access for all.

Join the City of Boston Mayor’s Commission for Persons with Disabilities and the Boston Center for Independent Living on July 22 for a virtual event to discuss how far we have come, and what the future of disability rights looks like with a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion. The event will run from 1 - 2:30 p.m. We will hear from leaders in disability rights, consumers, and elected officials.

Register for the event

Want a free ADA t-shirt?

Please fill out our online form to receive a free ADA 30 T-shirt to commemorate the event. Once you receive the shirt, post a picture of you wearing the shirt and join our virtual ADA 30 community!

ASL and CART will be available. If you have questions or additional accommodation requests, please contact our office.

Join us for a conversation with the Boston Parks and Recreation Department (BPRD) and their team from Stoss to:

  1. get a review of the March 2019 plan
  2. find out what they've learned from further engineering studies and public comments, and
  3. hear where the design is headed next.

The presentation will lay out the vision created last year, the feedback the team has received to date, and explain important new design criteria for building a welcoming and resilient park for the future. There will be opportunities to provide feedback and ask questions.

The virtual presentation is free, open to the public, and available via Zoom and by phone. A recorded version will be available on the Moakley Park website. All participants must register in advance. A link will be sent directly to attendees the evening before with specific information on how to join each platform. (Please note, attendees will not be visible in the recording.)
