People with disabilities say President Trump’s DEI purge is eroding health care, education and legal protections they’ve only won in recent decades.
Why it matters: The Trump administration has taken actions that undermine accessibility measures — critical for leveling the playing field for people with disabilities — as part of its efforts targeting diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.

State of play: Trump last month ordered an end to all federal programs that mandate or invoke accessibility, alongside diversity, equity and inclusion.
- The Department of Justice said it will penalize programs that promote accessibility.
