Rights for people with disabilities and special needs are being weakened, even if lawmakers don’t call it a “rights cut.” This isn’t theory! It’s happening right now.

Medicaid & disability supports are being stripped: Federal budget cuts and “rescissions” are pulling back billions that fund therapies, in-home care, and community programs. Without this funding, states can’t guarantee these rights.

Federal oversight is being removed: Laws like IDEA protect disabled students, but defunding watchdogs and enforcement agencies lets states ignore or weaken those protections. Rights aren’t being repealed, they’re being denied in practice.

Returning power to states often means taking rights away: When federal funding disappears, states are forced to cut services. Poorer states reduce care first, directly removing support that people with disabilities rely on.

“Fighting waste” shouldn’t come at the cost of rights: Oversight hearings show billions lost to fraud, but cutting programs hurts people who need protections and care the most.

Bottom line: These cuts and deregulation aren’t just inconvenient, they are removing the actual ability to access rights and protections. Starving funding and oversight is a direct attack on the rights of people with disabilities.

Pro-Palestinian protesters carrying a depiction of President Donald Trump gather at a rally before marching toward the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) headquarters

Saturday, April 5, 2025, in Washington

From Midtown Manhattan to Anchorage, Alaska — and in numerous state capitals — thousands of demonstrators rallied against President Trump and billionaire Elon Musk, criticizing their efforts to downsize the government and their policies on the economy, immigration, and human rights. On the West Coast, under Seattle’s iconic Space Needle, signs read “Fight the oligarchy,” as crowds gathered in protest. Meanwhile, in cities like Portland and Los Angeles, chants filled the streets as marchers moved from Pershing Square to City Hall.

Protesters expressed outrage over the administration’s decisions to lay off thousands of federal employees, shut down Social Security field offices, dismantle agencies, deport immigrants, reduce protections for transgender individuals, and slash healthcare funding.
