Recognizing the importance of independent living and economic self-sufficiency for individuals with disabilities made possible by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and calling for further action to strengthen and expand opportunities for individuals with disabilities to participate in work and community life.

HRES 1387 is a non-binding resolution recognizing the 34th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and highlighting ongoing challenges faced by people with disabilities, including high poverty rates (nearly 25% below the poverty line), workplace barriers, and inaccessible services. It calls on 11 federal agencies - including the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Transportation - to take specific actions to improve employment opportunities, accessibility, and community inclusion. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but urges agencies to develop policies and provide resources to support economic self-sufficiency and full participation. It emphasizes the ADA as a foundation for further progress, not a complete solution.
