On July 26, 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into lawβ€”paving the way for a more inclusive, accessible, and equitable society.

At EPI, we honor this landmark legislation and the generations of advocates who made it possible. The ADA is more than a lawβ€”it’s a promise of equal opportunity, community inclusion, and a stark reminder that advocacy matters.

🧑 As we celebrate this milestone, we remain committed to breaking barriers and building a future where everyone can thrive.

Adaptive Sports Iowa's mission is to provide sports and recreation opportunities for Iowans with physical disabilities.

Let’s tell them why!

Let’s tell them why!

60 hours, 60k actions. One goal: Protect Medicaid.
Call now: 855-564-1489

We’re on Capitol Hill today, reading real stories from across the country of people with disabilities whose lives are on the line. Why? Because earlier this month, Congress voted to make the biggest cuts to Medicaid in the program’s 60-year history. Millions of people with disabilities rely on Medicaid for health care and vital services, and these cuts will make it even harder for people to access the care they need. We want members of Congress to know how their decision will hurt families and communities across the country.

You can join us from home by calling today and telling your elected officials what Medicaid means to you. We have a script ready for you. It only takes a minute to take action. πŸ“’πŸ“²
