Help Advocate for Bipartisan Resolutions to Reaffirm Olmstead and HCBS
A bipartisan resolution--H.Res (House Resolution) 1586--was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives affirming the right of people with disabilities to live in their homes and communities, not in segregated institutions. H.Res. 1586 says that the Supreme Court's decision in Olmstead v. L.C. reflects Congress's longstanding intent that people with disabilities should receive services in the most integrated setting appropriate.
The Resolution includes important legislative and legal history:
More than 27 years ago, the Supreme Court held that unjustified segregation of people with disabilities is discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). H.Res. 1586 highlights the history of federal disability rights law and reaffirms Congress's commitment to community integration.
That clarity matters now. The integration mandate is facing new and unprecedented attacks, making this congressional reaffirmation especially timely. Disabled people belong in their communities. This resolution sends a clear bipartisan message that Congress meant what it said when establishing protections against segregation and discrimination.
Please share with your US Congressman and your two US State Senators what passing a resolution like this might mean to you or someone you know in terms of protecting people with disabilities' access to home and community based services and their right to integration.

Recognizing and honoring the 27th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision in Olmstead v. L.C.
