The American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA) is turning 30 on Sunday, July 26, 2020. The ADA prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in several areas, including employment, transportation, public accommodations, communications and access to state and local government programs’ and services.

Please join us on the Seattle Channel on Sunday, July 26 from 2 – 5 p.m. and King County TV on Monday, July 27 from 5 – 8 p.m. All programming will be accessible. For more details, view  this flyer.
