New Supporters of the Traveling with Dignity Act
People who use wheelchairs across New York State can thank five additional officials who have signed on as supporters of the “Traveling with Dignity” Act, mandating height-adjustable adult changing tables in public venues across New York State.
Thanks to the lobbying efforts of CP self-advocates and the awareness-building work of CP team members, we are proud to report the newest legislative endorsements from a cross-section of Senators and Assembly Members who join a growing list of bi-partisan champions of accessibility and equal rights for people with disabilities:
As pictured above from left to right: Senator Jack M Martins (District 7), Assembly Member Nader Sayegh (District 90), Assembly Member Inez E Dickens (District 70), Assembly Member Jessica Gonzalez-Rojas (District 34), and Assembly Member Michael Benedetto (District 82).
