Advocacy Webinar
What Advocates Need to Know About Missouri's Role in the "504 Lawsuit" (Texas v. Kennedy)
You may have heard Texas v. Kennedy referred to as the "504 lawsuit." Missouri is one of the states participating in this federal case, which could have significant implications for disability rights and the future of community integration.
Join us for a timely webinar to learn how the lawsuit began, what legal issues are at stake, how it could affect people with disabilities and their families, how one state organized to influence their State’s withdrawal from the lawsuit and why Missouri's participation matters.
We'll also discuss related federal actions that may impact the rights of people with disabilities to live, work, and participate in their communities.
Meet our expert panelists:
David Hutt, Deputy Executive Director for Legal Services with the National Disability Rights Network
Rocky Nichols, Executive Director of the Disability Rights Center of Kansas
Christina Ingoglia, Policy Advocacy Director with the Missouri Developmental Disabilities Council

Disability Pride Month Movie Meetup
Celebrate Disability Pride with us on the 36th anniversary of the ADA!
Join the Starkloff Network for a free screening of the Oscar-nominated documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution at Arkadin Cinema.
This film is presented with closed captions and audio description.
What is Crip Camp?
Down the road from Woodstock, a revolution blossomed in a ramshackle summer camp for teenagers with disabilities, transforming their lives and igniting the disability-rights movement. At Camp Jened, teens with disabilities tasted freedom, friendship, and self‑expression; decades later those bonds fueled protests, sit‑ins, and policy fights that reshaped American civil rights.
Through archival footage and candid interviews, Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution provides a galvanizing chronicle of community united around the fight for rights and dignity.
Show starts at 3:00 pm
There is a free public parking lot located less than a block east of the building, or you can park on Gravois or the surrounding side streets.
Registration: This event is free! This is not a ticketed event. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. (Note: Arakdin is a small theater!)
