Living with Disabilities
Announcing Jewish Disability Advocacy Day 2024: Ensuring We All Flourish!
As we kick off 2024, the Religious Action Center (RAC) is excited to partner with the Jewish Federations of North America and the Network of Jewish Human Service Agencies to host our annual Jewish Disability Advocacy Day (JDAD).
Continuing to Highlight Role Models with Disabilities
During National Disability Employment Awareness Month, the RAC is highlighting prominent people with disabilities (PWD), showing that PWDs deserve the same employment opportunities as able-bodied people.
Celebrating National Disability Employment Awareness Month 2023: Role Models with Disabilities
National Disability Employment Awareness Month, occurring every October, honors the contributions of employees with disabilities and highlights supportive policies that help employers and workers. This year's theme is "Advancing Access and Equity," coinciding with the 50 th anniversary of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, part of which outlaws discrimination against people with disabilities (PWD) in federal government.
Why the ADA Might Not Always Work for People with High-Functioning Autism
In light of the 33 rd anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) last month, it can be valuable to shine a light on how this landmark civil rights law does not always work for people with high-functioning autism (HFA).
Join us to launch Jewish Disability Advocacy Day 2023!
The Religious Action Center is excited to continue our partnership with the Jewish Federations of North America as hosts of the annual Jewish Disability Advocacy Day (JDAD) on February 15th at 12 PM ET. Registration is officially LIVE!
