Fascinating that 33 yrs after the ADA was passed, businesses still blatantly ignore it. The lift at the entrance of the @hyattregency in Rochester is locked & won't move unless you call (which is illegal). @HyattConcierge #AccessIsACivilRight #DisabilityRights

Our VP gave a visual description of herself at a meeting (yay access!) and the RNC is either tweeting about it because they're also excited about access or there trying to troll her for providing access. Here's hoping they're loving the access too!
