Washington, D.C. (January 29, 2026) — Little Lobbyists opposes the lawsuit filed by attorneys general in Alaska, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, South Dakota, and Texas attacking the integration mandate of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Should this lawsuit succeed, it will imperil decades of civil rights gains and betray the principles of the independent living movement.
Disabled people have a right to live in their communities, amongst friends and family. The law has repeatedly stated that disabled people deserve care in the “least restrictive” setting. The integration mandate is the backbone of policies that protect access to community-based living and the supports and services disabled people need to live joyful, thriving, active lives.
Little Lobbyists encourages residents of these states to contact their attorneys general and request that they withdraw from the suit.
