(3/3) DRA filed this class action lawsuit in May 2025 against nationwide airport transportation provider SuperShuttle for failing to provide services to wheelchair users. This decision brings us one step closer to ensuring that people with mobility disabilities have #EqualAccess to their services.
(2/3) After Tuesday's successful hearing, we snapped this pic of DRA attorneys Meredith Weaver and Amelia Evard and our amazing client Kathi Pugh.

(1/3) Yesterday a federal court granted preliminary approval to a class action settlement that will increase access to SuperShuttle's airport and ground transportation services for people with mobility #disabilities.
Please join us in welcoming Ross! We look forward to his guidance and participation.
Ross is passionate about #DisabilityRights and advocacy. Prior to entering private practice, Ross served as a PILI Fellow with Equip For Equality, Illinois’s federally designated protection and advocacy organization for individuals with #disabilities as a member of its Civil Rights Litigation Team.

(3) At DRA, our mission is clear: advancing the #CivilRights of people with disabilities through high-impact litigation. That includes standing up for Black disabled people when their rights are violated.
We are proud to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Black History Month this year.
(2) We know disability discrimination doesn’t happen in a vacuum. For many Black disabled people, barriers in healthcare, housing, education, employment, and the justice system are compounded.
