[Transcript of, "#HandsOffMyADA", produced by Rooted in Rights]

Hi, I’m Clark Matthews with Rooted in Rights.

In case you didn't know, Congress is getting ready
to vote on a bill called HR 620

which has been designed to take the power out of the Americans with Disabilities Act 
(the ADA).

That’s why we’re using social media to
tell Congress and the rest of America

that they're not going to get away with
watering down one of the most important,

far-reaching pieces of civil rights legislation
of the past 30 years.

What you can do is use the hashtags -

#HandsOffMyADA

and #StopHR620

- to share your story now.

Take a picture of yourself holding one of 
these signs you can download at

RootedinRights.org/HandsOffMyADA

Be sure to fill it out so that you can let people know

because of the Americans with Disabilities Act,
I know that my rights are civil rights.

If HR 620 passes, it will be easier than ever
for businesses that we use every day -

- shops, hotels, restaurants, public bathrooms,

anywhere that provides
public accommodations -

- to violate the rights of people with disabilities.

That makes me pissed off.

The ADA is worth protecting because
the ADA protects us.

Tell your representative now to keep
their #HandsOffMyADA!
