Olmstead at 25: A history and examination of its importance (w/ Lydia Dawson & Ira Burnim)

In this episode we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Olmstead Decision. First, with Lydia Dawson, ANCOR VP of Government Relations, we explain the decision and its importance.

Then we welcome Ira Burnim, a lawyer from The Bazelon Center who worked on the case in the leadup to the Supreme Court's 1999 decision. Ira details the decades of cases prior, coalitions built, strategies deployed, and the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) that gave the fight new life. =================
