ADA 33 VI

The Virgin Islands Celebrates the 33rd Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

The Virgin Islands ADA Anniversary Committee is celebrating 33 years since the passage of the landmark civil rights legislation, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), in a series of virtual and in-person events open to the public for the month of July 2023. We invite you to celebrate alongside us, whether it be watching our commemorative event online July 26th, telling us on social media what the ADA means to you, participating in-person (STT & STX) and virtual Zoom trainings, tuning in to local radio shows discussing the ADA, or watching/listening to past videos of members of the disability community in the VI share their stories.
