Ask Me Why Disability Cuts Hurt Us All.
Then Join Us
The new administration is attacking disability rights. We’re fighting back—because no one should be left behind.
Nearly every day, another protection for disabled people is being stripped away. Quietly, piece by piece, the rights that allow us to live, work, and belong in our communities are being erased.
But we won’t let that happen.
#NoOneLeftBehind is a movement to protect disability rights, healthcare, and independence for all.
If you’re not disabled, you might not see it happening. But for us, this is real. And we need you to listen.
We’re sharing our stories because they matter—because when you hear why disability rights are American rights, you’ll understand why we can’t and won’t stop fighting.
Ask us why. Then stand with us.
Why This Matters
Today, disabled Americans are under attack, and we have a short window of time to make our voices heard.
Approximately one in four Americans has a disability, reflecting the vast impact of these protections across our communities.
This isn’t just policy—it’s survival.
-
Section 504 ensures disabled people aren’t discriminated against in schools, workplaces, and federally funded programs.
-
Medicaid provides life-saving healthcare and home/community-based services for disabled and low-income individuals to over 60 million Americans.
-
The actions to dismantle the Department of Education threaten the enforcement of the IDEA, jeopardizing special education services for 7.5 million students.
-
The stopgap funding past on March 14th removes funding for proactive emergency services.
We cannot allow these and future attacks on disability rights and disabled lives to succeed.

FAQs
#NoOneLeftBehind Campaign
1. What is No One Left Behind?
No One Left Behind is a movement fighting to protect 504 and Medicaid—because no one should be left behind. The new administration is attacking disability rights, and we’re standing up to stop them.
2. Why are disability rights under attack?
Policies that keep disabled people safe, healthy, and independent are being gutted. Medicaid cuts mean people losing healthcare. Weakening 504 means kids losing support in schools and disabled workers facing more barriers. We’re here to say: Not on our watch.
3. What is Section 504, and why does it matter?
504 is a civil rights law—it guarantees disabled people have the same rights in education, workplaces, and public spaces as everyone else. Without it, millions could lose accommodations they rely on every day.
4. What is Medicaid, and why is it essential?
Medicaid saves lives. It covers healthcare, home-based care, and essential services for disabled and low-income people. If Medicaid is cut, people will lose care. Some will lose their homes. Some won’t survive.
5. I’m not disabled. Why should I care?
Disability can happen to anyone. One accident, one illness, one diagnosis—and suddenly, these rights matter to you. More than that, protecting disability rights is about fairness, dignity, and making sure no one is left behind.
6. What can I do to help?
You don’t have to be disabled to take action. Here’s how you can help right now:
✅ Sign the petition – Demand action from Congress.
✅ Call your representatives – Tell them to protect 504 & Medicaid.
✅ Share this message – Help more people hear the truth.
7. What does ‘Ask Me Why’ mean?
We know that when people understand the impact of these policies, they care. “Ask Me Why” invites real conversations. It takes away fear of the unknown and makes space for understanding. And understanding leads to action.
8. How are these policies affecting real people?
People are already losing access to healthcare, education, and independence. This isn’t abstract. It’s real.
“Without Medicaid, I wouldn’t have a home.”
“504 is the reason my kid gets to go to school.”
“This isn’t about politics. It’s about survival.”
9. Who are we petitioning?
We’re calling on U.S. Attorney Generals, Representatives, and Senators—the ones who can stop these attacks or the ones trying to push them through. Either way, they need to hear from us.
10. Is this political?
This isn’t about politics. It’s about people. Protecting disability rights isn’t a partisan issue—it’s a human one.
Here are some excellent resources with more detailed information from trusted NGOs.
