Justice-for-All

For those of you who are active advocates for people with disabilities, who want to be on top of all the national political and legal developments, and like to do their reading via the computer; there is no better resource than Justice-for-All. It might best be described as an e-mail news service for disability activists. Every time something of consequence happens, or is about to happen, in relation to disability law or disability rights, subscribers will hear immediately from Justin Dart, Frederick Fay or other leading advocates. There is no charge to be a subscriber to this service. However, you should be prepared to get a LOT of information.

To subscribe to Justice-for-All, simply send an e-mail to majordomo@JFANOW.org with “subscribe justice” in the body of your message.
