Thirty-three years ago, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law, ensuring that individuals with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. Among the people who worked tirelessly on this act, Judy Heumann, who passed away earlier this year, served as a shining champion for disabled people and a deeply loved member of the disability community.
Today, the musical tribute “Lift Me Up” honors Judy’s life and legacy. The tribute is created by artist and advocate Lachi, co-songwriters James Ian, Gaelynn Lea and April Rose, and the global network of Recording Artists and Music Professionals with Disabilities (RAMPD). Tony-winner Ali Stroker starts the video with an Audio Description for blind and low vision audiences. The captions and audio descriptions are sponsored by Google.
