Empower Hour Episode 2: The ADA and What Access Looks Like Today

In this second episode, we dive into the history and purpose of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and explore how barriers to access still show up today. We’re joined by Shelby Butler, our Director of Advocacy and Public Policy, and Jenn Tennison, our Community Outreach Coordinator, for a conversation about inclusive design, community education, and the impact of our Restaurant Access Points Program. We’ll also share practical advice for both individuals and organizations working to build a more accessible world, and preview our second annual ADA Block Party celebration scheduled for July 18, 2025 from 5-7p.m.
