What is the "504 lawsuit," and why should Missourians pay attention?

Section 504 is a federal civil rights law that protects people with disabilities from discrimination. Missouri is participating in a federal lawsuit that could affect how those protections are interpreted in the future.

Join Easterseals Midwest, St. Louis Arc, and the Missouri Developmental Disabilities Council for a free educational webinar to hear legal and advocacy experts explain the case, discuss what it could mean for people with disabilities and their families, and answer common questions.

You'll also learn practical ways to stay informed and participate in disability advocacy.

📅 Monday, July 13
🕟 4:30 p.m. CT

Panelists:
▪️David Hutt — National Disability Rights Network
▪️Rocky Nichols — Disability Rights Center of Kansas
▪️Christina Ingoglia — Missouri Developmental Disabilities Council
