Feel free to copy and paste any of the comments below — or use them as inspiration to write your own message opposing the rule.

I strongly oppose this rule—removing accessibility standards is unacceptable and discriminatory.

I disapprove of DOE’s decision to eliminate Section 504 protections for new federally funded buildings.

I oppose this rollback—it threatens basic civil rights for people with disabilities.

I do not support this rule—accessibility must remain a requirement, not an option.

I strongly disapprove—this action undermines decades of progress toward inclusion and equity.

Thank you for protecting disability rights!
