This week on CounterSpin: There’s an announcement on the New York City subway where a voice chirps: “Attention, everyone!
The Supreme Court recently dismissed, but did not do away with, a case that gets at the heart of enforcement of civil rights laws for people with disabilities—though not them alone.
Acheson v. Laufer is an under-the-radar case that, our guest says, is “part of a pattern of far-right reactionaries weaponizing the courts to dismantle labor protections, housing rights and health guidelines.”Ariel Adelman is a disability rights advocate and policy analyst.
Her piece, with Hayley Brown, appeared recently on CEPR.net, the website of the Center for Economic and Policy Research.
She’ll tell us what’s going on and what’s at stake.
