Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act action alert!

Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act requires federal contractors to take affirmative action to employ and advance qualified people with disabilities. Current regulations set a benchmark of 7% disability representation and require voluntary surveys to track progress.

Now, the current Administration has issued a proposal to delete these requirements, threatening the employment of people with disabilities.

Learn what’s at stake and how to defend Section 503 on our website: https://dredf.org/what-is-section-503-of-the-rehabilitation-act-and-how-can-we-defend-it/

Template comments are also available to guide your response. Thank you for helping fight back!
