Today, California Health and Human Services Agency Secretary Kim Johnson sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice reaffirming California’s commitment to protecting the rights of people with disabilities to live, work, and fully participate in their communities.
The letter expresses strong opposition to recent federal actions that threaten longstanding civil rights protections established under the Americans with Disabilities Act and the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark Olmstead v. L.C. decision.
California remains committed to ensuring people with disabilities have access to the services, supports, and opportunities they need to live independently and thrive in the communities of their choice.
