DoJ Memo Threatens Disability Indepenence from Olmstead v. L.C.

The US Supreme Court Case Olmstead v. L.C. ensured a lot more support for people with disabilities independently from institutionalization. A memo issued by the U.S. Department of Justice could take away support for independent living. Elizabeth McCormick, Director of Advocacy at New York Association on Independent Living, spoke with Sina Basila Hickey about this DoJ memo, why Olmstead v. L.C. is important, and the NYS response. image description: a photograph of the U.S. Supreme Court
